Comment (by adamsilverstein):

 Thanks for the suggestion @peterwilsoncc!

 So for ie8 users the feature would silently fail? it might be worth the
 extra effort to use two fields so ie8 users can still use this feature
 completely. Do you see a disadvantage to doing this?

 Replying to [comment:3 peterwilsoncc]:
 > This seems ideal for feature detection, start with an
 `input[type=password]` and `try` setting it to `input[type=text]` before
 adding the toggle.

 for testing in it.
