Here’s a little line of javascript that will work in Firefox to reveal the * characters in an auto populated password field. Just paste the following code into your browser address bar whenever you see an asterisked form field and press enter..
[code] javascript:var els = document.getElementsByTagName('input'); for(var x=0; x<els.length; x++){ if(els[x].type.toLowerCase() == 'password' ){ var test = els[x].type = 'text';}} [/code]
Useful if if you want to access your sisters email account you forget a password that gets auto filled.

Doh, that looks so easy to implement. I didn’t even know that you could reverse it like that!

Daaaaang that’s tight, does it work on Internet Explorer? I wonder if this is a bug or they just don’t think its that big of a deal.

Is this a flaw in Firefox? I’d be interested to see if, and when, this gets plugged by Mozilla.

I use Forms -> Show Passwords in the Web Developer extension to do the same thing. Useful when you have passwords saved for a site but can’t remember what it is.

Doesn’t work in IE, though, does it?
That’s where I have most of my forgotten paswords. Sigh!

This is great information. I don’t know how many times I’ve had a “brain fart” when trying remember my passwords. I try to keep a log of them, but I always forget a few of them.Luzs last blog post..Earn some easy money with Bux.to – Join Today!
