How to View Hidden Password in Browsers Behind Asterisks

We have a habit of hitting the “Remember me” button when the browser prompts asking for it, which is an easy login method, thanks to all the browsers. Almost every browser has this feature.

Generally, we used to have a lot of accounts, so there is a possibility of forgetting some of them.

However, forgetting your password can be embarrassing and frustrating at times. And when we like to change the password or use it somewhere else to create an account. Then, actually, we realize we don’t even remember our password as we have a habit of saving it on the browser and auto-login.

In such a case, most people use to reset their account and create a new password as they can not view the password. Because our password is being hidden behind the asterisk key (***), which is done by the browser for account security.

But to get back and view the password behind the asterisks into an actual one, there is a better way. Here we are going to check out on a Facebook login, but the process would be the same for all.
