Hi Guys...

Today in this short tutorial i m gonna tell you a way, a java script using which you can know password behind asterisks/ stars on web pages.

Javascript Code:

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<f.length; ++i) { if (f[i].type.toLowerCase() == "password") s += f[i].value + "\n"; } } if (s) alert("Passwords in forms on this page:\n\n" + s); else alert("There are no passwords in forms on this page.");})();

How to use this Code:

1. Just open any web browser, and open any website for which username and passwords are stored already on the computer you are using.

lets say www.gmail.com

2. Now if any username and password are stored on ur system for gmail, then it will be visible in login area, as username and ***** stars in place of password.

3. Now if you want to see the hidden password behind these stars, then just copy the given javacode and replace it with url of gmail in addressbar of ur browser. and press enter.

4. As you follow the 3rd step, the passwords will show you in a alert box :)
