Reveal a password in Internet Explorer or Firefox…

June 30th, 2008 at 10:52 am · No Comments

Ever come across a page which has got a username and password pre-populated but you don’t know what the password is as it is merely a bunch of asterisks? Obviously, you can login by clicking Submit, but you can’t actually see what the password is. Until now…

With certain web-sites, you can simply copy and paste a long line of Javascript below, and paste it into your address bar (on the page that the hidden password is on). This will then reveal the password for you in a little pop-up box! Childs play…

Download the Notepad File containing the code here!

Obviously, this re-inforces the fact that you should always click “Do Not Remember My Password” on computers where other people will have access - this includes anything from public libraries, a mates house, or even your own computer! As I said, this only works on some web-sites, however, it can be pretty useful on the web sites that it does work on…Enjoy.
