Unhide Characters from Password Inputbox : HTML5 Hack

22:04
Have you ever noticed that when you type password on some websites like linkedin, facebook, dropbox or any website requiring a password to log in to your account, little dots appear and not text so if you ever try to see the password of a person before his shoulder you won't be knowing the password as it is not appearing on the screen moreover the person types it really fast so you can' t get the password. But if by chance a person has entered his password in the box and gone somewhere still you have no chance of seeing whats really typed in the password box. You can neither copy the password after the coming of HTML5, so heres a trick you can do to change the box to a simple plain textbox and convert those dots to actual text. 
Here I will show you how to unhide characters from password inputbox :



For example 

  1. Open Dropbox and click sign-in.
  2. Enter your Email and Password in the respective boxes but don't press enter or Sign in button. ( I used example@example.com as email and "example" as password.
  3. You will see in the password box as usual dots appear in place of characters.
  4. Right Click in the password Input box and select "Inspect element".
  5. In the inspect element box you'll see the html code the password input box ( highlighted one).
  
6. Change the type property from "password" to "text". Once you change it close the inspect element box and you'll see the password is revealed in the password input box. 



You can try this trick on almost every website with a password Input Box .. Linkedin.com, Facebook.com you name it.
