Stored Website Passwords
The 1st trick is actually a script that you run. It’s a piece of code that you paste into your web browser address bar and hit enter, click go, or whatever your browser has. Once you navigate to the page that has the store password copy the following script into you web browsers address bar without the quotations.
“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(”Passwords in forms on this page:\n\n” + s); else alert(”There are no passwords in forms on this page.”);})();”
After you paste it in you can press enter or click go and a popup message box will display the password if there is one stored as you can see in the picture (click thumbnail for to view).
To make things easier in the firefox browser you can add it to favorites and rename it to “asterisk hack” and when you navigate to a page with the asterisk stored as passwords you can open favorites and click on it.
Ok so that is a neat trick but can be somewhat difficult for the new computer users (n00b). If you are an Internet Explorer user then that script is your best bet but if you are a Firefox user the browsers tools has it built right in, which can be good and bad. When Firefox is open if you go to Tools/Options menu and under the passwords section click the “show passwords” button it will show you all of the websites that it has stored passwords for. From there you can choose to remove any one or all of the passwords stored or just click on anyone then click the show password button and it will display the password.
Remember just make sure if you store passwords in you browser that you are the only one that has access to that computer log on!

Cool stuff.
Hey Tech, Thanks for the comment. Your new blog templates got great style. Very professional looking. You defiantly achieved the Web 2.0. I recently restyled the header on my blog using Gimp. I had fun creating it. May I suggest that you might want to add a contact page? This is the one that I use and I’m really happy with it.

A contact page helps when someone wants to privately contact you.I for instance, wanted to comment about a mutual acquaintance of ours but didn’t want to make it public.
Cheers, Pam
