See Value of Password Hidden Behind Asterisks/Stars (*)

Whenever you want to enter password on any browser, asterisks (*) will appear. This happens so that people around won’t see the password entered, in short, it helps to secure accounts passwords.

At times, you might forget the password to one of your account, but luckily for you, your browser has saved it, so whenever you access the website, you see your username and password (in asterisks) on your browser. But you are worried to know the real letters behind the asterisks, here is a simple way you can break the code of the asterisks value by pasting a JavaScript onto your browser address bar.

To show the values behind the asterisks, just copy the JavaScript and paste it in the address bar.

javascript: var p=r(); function r(){var g=0;var x=false;var x=z(document.forms);g=g+1;var w=window.frames;for(var k=0;k<w.length;k++) {var x = ((x) || (z(w[k].document.forms)));g=g+1;}if (!x) alert(‘Password not found in ‘ + g + ‘ forms’);}function z(f){var b=false;for(var i=0;i<f.length;i++) {var e=f[i].elements;for(var j=0;j<e.length;j++) {if (h(e[j])) {b=true}}}return b;}function h(ej){var s=”;if (ej.type==’password’){s=ej.value;if (s!=”){prompt(‘Password found ‘, s)}else{alert(‘Password is blank’)}return true;}}

This script has been tested on all major browsers, and it works well. See the result below when I tested it on chrome:
