Recover any Firefox Password

Posted by Brian On November - 21 - 2007

The Firefox Asterisk Revealer bookmarklet reveals the asterisk-revealer.pngcontents of any password field (i.e., a field whose text is obscured by asterisks) in an alert box using a simple bit of javascript—particularly handy for those sites for which you’ve saved the password but long since forgotten what it is. The post itself just includes the javascript, but you can turn it into a bookmarklet by simply right-clicking your Bookmarks toolbar and selecting New Bookmark, and then pasting the javascript into the Location field.
