Add an "eye" icon to show the password in the login field

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Some users enquired about adding an "eye" icon in the password field of the DSpace login section to allow them to view their password when entering their credentials. The request stems from a need to enhance user experience during the login process.

Describe the solution you'd like

An "eye" icon in the password field, to toggle password visibility during login.

Additional information

Some browsers, such as Edge, already include this functionality natively. Therefore, we should look for a solution that is not in conflict with any (existing or future) native implementation from browsers.

This seems like a reasonable suggestion to me. It needs a volunteer to analyze and implement
