Easily reveal any password in any computer

At website login pages, you can view masked passwords (******)by changing the password input type as text from inspect element in your browser. This method works in all modern browser. Never leave your pc on with signup page. Anyone can know your password from this Method.
If you use autofill for your passwords in your browser of choice then you know it’s easy to forget what your password is. As it turns out, tech blog Digital Inspiration shows off how to easily reveal these passwords using the developer tools.
Whether you us a password manager like LastPass, or you just let your browser store your passwords, your browser will always block the password box from passersby seeing it by using asterisks. To remove the mask and reveal your password, you just need to do a few things.
Right-click the password box and select “Inspect Element.” This brings up the developer console. On the line that starts with “input type=password” change the word “password” to “text.” This will reveal your password. While you can always pop into your browsers menu screen to look up saved passwords (or into your LastPass profile), this is a far quicker way to see your hidden passwords.
