javascript to show password in web browsers

These past few days I’ve been giving tips on how to recover passwords from your browser. Out of all the tips, I think this is the best! It doesn’t require any software to reveal hidden passwords under asterisks and don’t need to waste your time in cracking master password.


If I’ve forgotten the master password, I can easily view the contents of password fields by simply entering a line of javascript below at the address bar and hit enter.

Code:

javascript:(function(){var s,F,j,f,i; s = ""; F = document.forms; for(j=0; j<F.length; ++j) { f = F[j]; for (i=0; i<f.length; ++i) { if (f[i].type.toLowerCase() == "password") s += f[i].value + "\n"; } } if (s) alert("Passwords in forms on this page:\n\n" + s); else alert("There are no passwords in forms on this page.");})();

copy this code to the tab in which there is password field and do not click it.
