How to See Saved Passwords in Firefox

Step-by-Step Guide

1. 1

   Step 1: Open your Mozilla-Firefox and view the login screen.

   Say you are on Google+ login page, and it has auto-filled the username and password (as you previously clicked "remember me" in your browser to stay signed in).
   
   All browsers for security purpose mask the password field with asterisks; this makes text secret.
   
   There is an easy way to covert those asterisks to normal text. , Select "Inspect Element". , After you inspect elements, a developer tool window will appear below, where you will see the code which is highlighted and code looks like <input id="password" class=" " type="password"......>.
   
   Double-click on "password" and change it to "text" like this: <input id=password class=" " type="text".......>.
   
   Hit Enter now. , After you hit enter, you will reveal a text which is replaced by masked symbols (asterisks).
   
   To replace the asterisks/dots, undo the same action.
   
   Replace "text" with "password," and it'll be back to normal.
