Hi HC
Today i am going to be teaching you how to unhide or reveal passwords in your web browser (specifically chrome and less specifically internet explorer).

Step one: Find a sign in page on your browser with a saved password and username on it, [note this can also be done on a shared computer].

Step two: If you are using the chrome browser then you must highlight the password and click the option "inspect element" this will bring up the element console (which is where you can see all codes and strings that make up that specific page) with a highlighted string something along the lines of this "<input type="password" name="Passwd" id="Passwd">" without the beginning and ending quotes. If you on the other hand are using interent explorer then your going to have to navigate to the tool bar and click on developer tools this will bring up the same type of element console except this time its in a new window.

Step three: This is the easiest step, if you are using chrome then all your going to have to do is edit the string that is already highlighted, now if you are using internet explorer you will just have to find that string instead on your own (shouldnt be that hard though).

Step four: Now that you have that string you are going to have to change (by double clicking) the part where it says type="password" to type="text" so heres what it looked like
<input type="password" name="Passwd" id="Passwd">
and heres what it should look like now
<input type="text" name="Passwd" id="Passwd">

By doing this the hidden password will now be in text instead of the dots.

If any of this still did not make sense or your having trouble ive attached a video of me doing it in chrome.

It's a nice tutorial presented well and all, but I'm struggling to see any possible use for this

[scaryypanda]

okay well lets say your at like a public computer station and you see passwords saved then you can figure them out through this and seize account or maybe you want to tell your friend you needed to look at their computer real quick and do the same thing and also just in your own personal computer for example youve had a password saved for awhile but dont remember it to change it or something then this will help, idk sorry my contribution sucks! :/

It doesn't suck at all. I'm really good at HTML and at using Firebug and the Chrome inspector and never thought about doing this. Thanks mate.

oh okay well thanks mate and what kind of stuff do you know how to do with html and element console and the sort?

I'm (was) a web developer, I know CSS, HTML, Javascript (jQuery and Ajax) and PHP (also OOP). I use the inspector to know how my scripts behave and style pages faster. I said I "was" a web developer because I'm planning to leave that field for programmation (will go back there later).

or if there are saved password on your browser you could just:
Firefox:
Tools(Toolbar) > Options(Toolbar Dropdown) > Security(Tab) > Saved Passwords(Button) > Show Passwords

Same goes to chrome... just find it, i dont have chrome here xD

yes, i prefer this way rather than change the input field from password to text because the question is, how will you upload the edited page?
