How To Reveal Hidden Passwords (Asterisks) In Web Browsers

In many places where you need to input your password to gain access, authorize or confirm a transaction, whenever you type passwords into the input text box, the characters automatically turns into asterisks or bullets. This is to protect your password from straying eyes.
However, in situations that require you to know what lies behind those asterisks, we’ve got a simple trick to reveal the passwords on your web browsers.
Intro
These hidden passwords are disguised with the help of simple HTML and CSS. So just changing the value of something specific will easily reveal what’s behind those bullets or astericks. We’ll show you how this is done in Google Chrome and Firefox.

Google Chrome

In any website which contains your saved password, right click on the password box and click on Inspect element.


Chrome Inspect Element


You’ll now notice the bottom quarter of your screen filled with codes. You only need to focus on the highlighted (in blue) part to reveal the password.

                  Chrome Code

Look for type="password" and double click on it. Replace the word ‘password’ with ‘text‘.
It should now look like type="text". Hit Enter.
                  Chrome Change Codes
After you’ve changed that, the text behind the asterisks or bullets will be revealed.

Mozilla Firefox


To reveal the password in Firefox, first, right click the password box and select Inspect Element.

Firefox Inspect Element

A dark grey bar will appear at the bottom of the browser; click on the Markup Panel or hit Alt +M.

                   Firefox Code

It will reveal a few lines of codes; the line you want to focus at is the highlighted line.

                   Firefox Code

Again, look for type="password" and double click on it. Replace the word ‘password’ with ‘text‘ so it looks like type="text". Then hit Enter.

                  Firefox Change Code

The password masked behind the asterisks or bullets will now be revealed.

                 Reveal Password

Windows Security

Security Architecture of Windows  There are three components of Windows Security:  LSA (Local Security Authority)  SAM (Security Account Manager)  SRM (Security Reference Monitor) LSA (Local Security Authority)  LSA is the Central Part of NT Security. It is also known as Security Subsystem. The Local Security Authority or LSA is a key component of the logon process in both Windows NT and Windows 2000. In Windows 2000, the LSA is responsible for validating users for both local and remote logons. The LSA also maintains the local security policy.  During the local logon to a machine, a person enters his name and password to the logon dialog. This information is passed to the LSA, which then calls the appropriate authentication package. The password is sent in a nonreversible secret key format using a one-way hash function. The LSA then queries the SAM database for the User’s account information. If the key provided matches the one in the SAM, the
