UI/UX Issue: Password Requirements Always Visible on Signup Form

[vaishnavi12075]

Summary

The password requirement guidelines are currently displayed permanently on the Create Account / Signup form, even when the user has not interacted with the password field. This creates unnecessary visual clutter and reduces form clarity.

##Reference
Password rules (minimum 8 characters, uppercase, lowercase, number, special character) are always visible below the password field regardless of user focus or input state.

##Problem Description

Current Behavior:

• Password rules are always visible by default
• They appear immediately when the page loads
• No dependency on:
  • Password field focus
  • User input
  • Validation state

Why this is an issue:

• Adds unnecessary visual noise to the form
• Reduces perceived simplicity of signup UI
• Distracts users before they start typing
• Makes the form look more complex than it actually is

##Expected Behavior

Password requirements should be shown contextually:

Option A (Recommended UX):

• Show requirements only when password field is focused
• Hide them when user clicks away (if password is empty or valid)

Option B:

• Show only when:
  • User starts typing password OR
  • Password validation fails

Option C :

• Show on focus
• Keep visible only if requirements are not met

##Suggested UX Improvement

• Add subtle animation (fade/slide) when showing rules
• Dynamically highlight each rule as user types:
  ✔ Uppercase present
  ✔ Number present
  ✔ Special character missing
  ✔ Minimum length not met

Hi @vaishnavi12075,

I would like to work on this issue under GSSoC 2026.

I have reviewed the issue description and understand that the password requirement guidelines should only appear when they are relevant (such as when the password field is focused or the user starts typing), instead of being permanently visible.

I'm ready to implement the UI improvement while maintaining the existing user experience and ensuring the behavior remains intuitive.

If this issue is still available, could you please assign it to me?

Thank you!

Hi @vaishnavi12075,

I would like to contribute to this issue under GSSoC 2026.

I’ve gone through the issue details and understand that the password guidelines should only be visible when the user interacts with the password field, rather than being displayed continuously.

I can implement this improvement while keeping the existing functionality intact and ensuring a seamless user experience.

If the issue is available, kindly assign it to me.

Thank you!

Hi Mentors, I want to take up this logic task to conditionally render the password requirements on input focus/blur states in the signup form. Please assign this to me under GSSoC '26. Thank you!
