How to Make a Password Show Instead of Dots?
Many people find it convenient to see the text they are typing when entering a password. This is especially handy when there are doubts about what was typed or for users who may have difficulty in accurately typing long and complex passwords. By default, web browsers and applications mask passwords with dots or asterisks for security reasons. However, there are ways to override this and display the password as plain text.
Here are the steps to make a password show instead of dots:
- Right-click on the password field where the dots are displayed.
- From the dropdown menu that appears, select "Inspect" or "Inspect Element" (this will open the browser's developer tools).
- Locate the line of code that corresponds to the password input field within the developer tools.
- Double-click on the word "password" within the code and change it to "text".
- Press Enter to apply the changes, and the password field will now display the entered text instead of dots.
It's important to remember that while this method allows you to see the password as you type it, it may compromise your security and privacy, especially when around others. Avoid using this feature on shared or public devices to prevent unauthorized access to your accounts.
