How to Reveal Passwords Hidden by Dots

Have you ever found yourself stuck trying to remember a password that is hidden by dots?

It can be frustrating when you can't see the characters you are typing, especially when you need to log in to a website or service. One common way to reveal a password that is being displayed as dots is by using the 'Show Password' option.

When you come across a password field that shows dots instead of the actual characters, look for an eye icon next to the password field. By clicking on this eye icon, you can toggle between showing the password in plain text or hiding it behind dots.

Another method is to inspect the password field using browser developer tools. Right-click on the password input field and select 'Inspect' from the context menu. This will open a panel that displays the HTML code for the password field. Look for the attribute 'type=password' and change it to 'type=text' to reveal the password in plain text.

Remember to exercise caution when revealing passwords in plain text, especially if you are in a public place or on a shared device. Always ensure that no one is peering over your shoulder before revealing a hidden password.
