Suppose you’ve forgotten a password to a particular login, but it still appears via the auto-fill utility. Copying the bullets/asterixes and pasting them into an empty text file won’t help out in anyway. So in these instances you need to extract your password that’s hiding behind *****. 

  One way to do this is by using a software that does it all. I came across one particular site (http://www.nirsoft.net/password_recovery_tools.html) that offered interesting tools. 

  BulletsPass View, for instance, converts passwords it encounters in open programs. There’s even a program which can analyse your router settings backup file to show your password.

  For websites, if you’d like to check your passwords one last time before pressing enter, you

could use a Greasemonkey script. You’ll have to get the Greasemonkey add-on installed first, and then navigate to http://userscripts.org/scripts/review/127487. Click on the green Install button in the top right corner of the web page. All you need to do now is mouse-over the password box and your password will be changed to plain text as long as the cursor is within the box’s boundaries.  I’ve listed the script at the above site or below here, just in case you’re wary of installing unknown scripts from the web.

I’ve listed the script below for your sake  :P
