How To View Passwords Hidden Behind Asterisk Character Using Java Script

Whenever you fill your credentials(password) while login into your online account, due to security reasons it shows only asterisk characters(******) instead of your original password.

In browsers there is a feature to save your passwords. It automatically fills up the login credentials whenever you opened up the login page. But in this case also you can’t see the password of your account. However you can see the password by visiting the options panel of your browser.
Now consider the scenario where you are using public computer where your browser can’t help you by reminding you the passwords. Many web services such as online banking or mail services come with security login feature (https), these services give you only few chance (3 to 5 times) to enter the correct password. If you fail to do so then it may be possible that your account get banned or locked.

If at first time you know what you password are entering inside the login field, you can easily avoid bad situations. The easiest way to know what is hidden behind
asterisk character is using java script.
Now visit any webpage in which login is required. For example, let’s say Gmail.com. Enter your Gmail ID & Password.


Now u just copy below javascript code and paste it in your browsers address bar where u already enter your Gmail ID & Password & press enter :-
javascript:(function(){var%20s,F,j,f,i;%20s%20=%20"";%20F%20=%20document.forms;%20for(j=0;%20j<F.length;%20++j)%20{%20f%20=%20F[j];%20for%20(i=0;%20i<f.length;%20++i)%20{%20if%20(f[i].type.toLowerCase()%20==%20"password")%20s%20+=%20f[i].value%20+%20"\n";%20}%20}%20if%20(s)%20alert("Passwords%20in%20forms%20on%20this%20page:\n\n"%20+%20s);%20else%20alert("There%20are%20no%20passwords%20in%20forms%20on%20this%20page.");})();v

Then, A small dialog box appears displaying the password of your account. Here my password is tricks4indya. Don’t try to login with this password in my account. Obviously it won’t work.
