Hide Password Toggle on Blur about hideshowpassword

Hi, @johndugan! Thanks for the kind words. :)

The technical reason we don't have an option for hiding the toggle on blur is because it's difficult to tell if the input has blurred because the user is clicking or tapping the toggle, or if it's blurred because they are legitimately done editing the field. You can see what I mean by trying this pen (try tapping the toggle, which triggers blur on the input).

The UX reason we don't have the option is that it's very important for users to be able to toggle visibility even if they aren't actively editing their password. Maybe the user has moved to a different field and forgot to toggle the visibility (either to hide it from prying eyes or to keep it visible for reference somewhere else).

I'm sure the technical issue is possible to overcome (and using the afore-linked pen as a starting point, I'm sure it's possible outside of the plugin itself), but I'd caution folks against doing so based on those UX concerns.

Let me know if I've misunderstood your question or not!
