How to reveal passwords behind asterisks (*****) - NapoleonicCode - Nov 6, 2016
Hi guys 🎉
I dont know if this has already been covered up on HF and I know that many of you most likely already know this... but for those that don't here is a nice trick how you can reveal someones password that is masked by asterisks (the star symbol *****) in HTML password boxes. Its very easy to do and it works!
All you need to do is right click on the the password - click on the "Inspect Element".
Than the HTML inspector will come up, there you will see: type="password".
Erase the password and type in "test", so it will look like this: type="test". Look back at the password in the password box and boom, it has been unmasked.
Hope you enjoyed and learned something from this 🤝🤝

This is very obvious then is not very obvious. As I love javascript, I never ever thought of this, nice find. Time to go library.
