How to toggle a UITextField secure text entry (hide password) in Swift?

Question

I currently have a UITextfield with an eye icon in it that when pressed is supposed to toggle the secure text entry on and off.

I know you can check mark the "secure text entry" box in the attributes inspector but how to do it so it toggles whenever the icon is pressed?

Answer 1

Use this code,

iconClick is bool variable, or you need other condition check it,

var iconClick = true

eye Action method:

@IBAction func iconAction(sender: AnyObject) {
    if iconClick {
        passwordTF.isSecureTextEntry = false
    } else {
        passwordTF.isSecureTextEntry = true
    }
    iconClick = !iconClick
}

hope its helpful
