How to reveal passwords behind asterisks (*****)

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 🤝🤝
Fun fact i never knew this, thanks man!
Where are all my friends
Ill try with my HackForums password: boxxy12854
I only do deals onsite through PM's/Contracts.
I do not use Discord, or Skype, or talk to members offsite whatsoever.
Yea it's pretty basic knowledge but still helpful for some users :) Nice post!

You can type in anything except "password" for it to work.
