WOW this is nice..
This handy little JavaScript busts the no-showing, no-hinting asterisks *** which hides the real password from snooping eyes, in the Internet Explorer, Firefox, Netscape and Opera browsers
I have forgotten so many passwords over the years, and had to make new ID’s when I realized that I accidenlty saved a pass on some public PC n then I had to go aronud changing it,it made life miserable.. so under the new plan.. I ONLY visit not-so-important sites like forums and stuff have a simple password like lamepassword [as of Oct 22, this was dropped hehehe] so even it was hacked so what..?
…All you have to do is go to the website where you have forgotten the login details, enter the username and then insert the Script into the address bar [Firefox shortcut key = Ctrl + L]
<input name=”textarea” onfocus=”this.select()” value=”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
and hit enter … you then get a pop-up like this one:
To easily use this, bookmark it!
Turning off JavaScript may prolly protect u from this ‘hack’ but then you face the problem of viewing websites that uses JavaScript. Remember never to save passwords on a public/shared PC [and to clean the cache if u thnk tht u may have] , better yet use the Portable Firefox which is totally cool!
reportedly this also works on the Apple Inc’s Safari Browser
