Lets you configure the default display of the browser password reveal button for password input fields on websites. If you enable or don't configure this policy, the browser user setting defaults to displaying the password reveal button. If you disable this policy, the browser user setting can't display the password reveal button. For accessibility, users can change the browser setting from the default policy. This policy only affects the browser password reveal button but doesn't affect websites' custom reveal buttons.

Export Builder
BETAConfigure the state, scope and options, then generate .reg, PowerShell, Intune and SCCM outputs — or add the setting to a multi-setting collection.
These exports write the registry — this is not a managed GPO. ⓘ
Applying both scopes creates an ambiguous configuration (computer takes precedence over user). Only do this intentionally.
