How to Decrypt Passwords Hidden Behind Black Dots
Many websites and applications use password fields that hide the characters you type by displaying them as black dots or asterisks. While this feature helps protect your password from prying eyes, there may be situations where you need to retrieve a password you've previously entered but can no longer recall.
There are a few methods you can try to uncover the hidden password behind those black dots:
- Browser Developer Tools: Right-click on the password field, select 'Inspect' and change the input type from 'password' to 'text' to reveal the characters.
- Browser Autofill: Check your browser's saved passwords or autofill settings to view the stored password.
- Password Managers: If you've saved the password to a password manager, you can access it through the manager's interface.
- Password Recovery: Some services offer options to reset or recover forgotten passwords through email or security questions.
It's important to note that trying to uncover passwords without authorization is ethically questionable and may be illegal in some cases. Always ensure you have the legal right to access the password in question.
