Show Passwords in Browsers

If your browser like Firefox or Internet Explorer offers to remember you password for you and you say "OK", then it stores that password, but only displays it as asterisks on the screen. I found this post that explains how, if you forget what you password is, you can just cut and paste this line of java script into the browser URL and it will show you the password.

A dialog box will prompt and your password is shown.

Reveal Firefox Password


This method works on Internet Explorer, Firefox, Netscape and Opera.
