Chrome Extension to Reveal Hidden Passwords
Show Hidden Password is a Google Chrome extension designed to enhance user convenience by revealing passwords obscured by asterisks on login pages. This tool addresses the challenge of password visibility on secure websites like Facebook, Gmail, PayPal, and Twitter, where passwords are typically masked for security. When users focus on a password field, the extension displays the actual characters, reverting to dots when the cursor is moved away, mimicking the functionality of the eye icon feature found in some browsers.
Additionally, the extension offers a solution for websites that do not allow password saving in the browser. By adding the autocomplete=on property to password input fields, it enables users to save their passwords for quick access during future logins. However, it is important to note that recent updates to Google Chrome may render this feature ineffective, as the property is often ignored in newer releases.
