There are many ocassions when there is a password hidden behind * asterix signs which you want to reveal usually there is no such encryption which is used to hide these passwords. Usually its the characters that are exchanged from the real ones. Suppose the password is ABC then the character ABC is swapped with a password character ***. we have many softwares in the market which can help us reveal the password hidden in such fields but first I will show you the javascript method that will reveal password from firefox browser.
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:nn” + s); else alert(“There are no passwords in forms on this page.”);})();
copy and paste this code in the address bar and you will see the hidden password in a alert message box. This script works in iE as well as opera and many other browsers.
suppose this is the password field that you want to uncover in firefox simply use the above code in red.
A dialog box will prompt and your password is shown
This method works on Internet Explorer, Firefox, Netscape and Opera.
With the password protection so insecure in firefox cross site hacking xss can be deployed to access you secure data. I would recommend not to save any passwords in firefox rather use roboforms software and browser plugin.
