There is the solution for this problem i.e. here are two methods to reveal password under the asterisk without any software.
To use these tricks follow these simple steps:
By using Web Console of Browsers
- Just open your Web Browser
- Open the Web Page where Username and Password field is present.
- Now just need to right click on the password field in the browser and select "Inspect Element" option.
- After this, "Browser Web Console" will open out and there you can see some Html code.
- Now you just need to replace the "password" word with "text" word, from the type=”password” field and it will reveal the words behind the asterisks.
By using JavaScript
- There’s another way using JavaScript which is quite quick and easy as compared to above method. Just open a site that allows users to login and after typing the password, just enter the following JavaScript code in the address bar.
Javascript: alert(document.getElementById('Passwd').value);
- After entering the above code in the address bar, press enter and it will pop up a window with your password written on it.
- Alternatively you may also use the given below script also:
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;}}
So both of the above scripts would reveal the Password in a popup window.
So it is a simple trick to reveal password under the asterisk without any software.
