Kivy

I created a login form which I have a username and password field to login. The below of password field will have a chechbox to check whether the user to show or to hide their password before they click the login button. if they click to show password, the password field will show their actual password instead of '*' and the label will change to hide password. if they uncheck the checkbox, the password will indicate otherwise, this is how it works.

What I have tried:

I have run the app and the following error incurred:

     KeyError: 'password_login'
    
     During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
