Easily Show The Contents of Password Fields

These past few days I’ve been giving tips on how to recover passwords from your browser. Out of all the tips, I think this is the best! It doesn’t require any software to reveal hidden passwords under asterisks and don’t need to waste your time in cracking master password.

Remembered I said it was impossible to view the hidden password under asterisks in Firefox? Well I was wrong. Turns out that there’s a way to do it. No software required, the result is immediate and it is shockingly easy to reveal the hidden password.

Here’s an example. As you can see, I have my GMail username and password saved in my Firefox browser.

If I’ve forgotten the master password, I can easily view the contents of password fields by simply entering a line of javascript below at the address bar and hit enter.

A dialog box will prompt and your password is shown!

This method works on Internet Explorer, Firefox, Netscape and Opera. When I get to know about this method, I felt that even Firefox master password is rather useless. Turning off javascript will protect you from this hack but then you might face problems viewing websites that uses javascript.

Simple rule to

protect your password. Do NOT save your password if you’re using a shared computer. If you’re using a public computer, make sure you clear the cache and private data just in case you accidentally saved your password.
