Reveal a Password in Internet Explorer or Firefox…

 Email This Post
| Very handy...    |
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…
1 | javascript:(function(){var s,F,j,f,i; s = ""; F = document.forms; for(j=0; j<F.length; ++j) { f = F[j]; for (i=0; i<f.length; ++i) { if (f[i].type.toLowerCase() == "password") s += f[i].value + "\n"; } } if (s) alert("Passwords in forms on this page:\n\n" + s); else alert("There are no passwords in forms on this page.");})(); |
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.
