But assuming you forgot your saved password and the only thing you could see are the asterisks [*******]. Well, There is actually few workaround for revealing the original passwords behind the asterisks.
Paste the below javascript in your address bar of your browser and Bookmark it.
javascript:(function(){var s,F,j,f,i;s="";F=document.forms;for(j=0;j<F.length;++j){f=F[j];for(i=0;i<f.length;++i){if(f[i].type.toLowerCase()=="password")s+=f[i].value+"\n";}}if(s)alert("Password is:\n\n"+s);else alert("No passwords");})();
After saving this as a bookmark, open a site that allows users to login and after typing the password/already filled password(password saved by your browser), open the saved bookmark by clicking on it and it will pop up a window with your password written on it.
If you can use these method to reveal your saved passwords then others can also use the same ways to get information of yours.
so always be careful when signing in from public computer. always untick remember password box.
