Lost the “eye” in Windows10 saved passwords feature
The net’s full of advice on how to change the dots into your saved password by using the eye . Only those of you who have this feature will know what I’m talking about btw .However the eye has disappeared !
So say you’ve forgotten your password ,you go into saved passwords list which are just dots . Next to the dots was an eye . You clicked on that and your password appeared .
So where’s it gone and how do I get it back ? It used to be there , I’ve used it !
Using Google Chrome on Windows 10 PC .

Re: Lost the “eye” in Windows10 saved passwords feature
There are, it seems, solutions but I have never tried either so I don't know if they're effective.https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/...dows-10-a.html
After you type your password in a password entry text box in Windows 10, you will see a password reveal button (fermata eye) that you can press to show the typed password to verify if you typed it correctly.
This tutorial will show you how to enable or disable the password reveal button for all users in Windows 10.
You must be signed in as an administrator to be able to enable or disable the password reveal button.

Perhaps a fellow poster has tried either or both of these methods or has a simpler solution.
