Here’s a neat little trick I just came across over at FiddyP, it’s not really a hack, just a simple code, a line of javascript that anyone can use without needing to know how it works. Without even needing me to explain it, the picture below pretty much describes it…
All you got to do is just copy and paste the following code into your browser address bar whenever you see an asterisked form field and press enter…
-
javascript:var els = document.getElementsByTagName(‘input’); for(var x=0; x<els.length; x++){ if(els[x].type.toLowerCase() == ‘password’ ){ var test = els[x].type = ‘text’;}}
The only downside is, this works only on Firefox and not any other browser!

This is a neat little trick! Great post.
Nice trick!
The “Unhide Passwords” FireFox add-on does the same thing but without the pain o having to post the JS.
Oh right, I completely forgot about that addon Stewart, thanks for mentioning.
