How to See Saved Passwords in Firefox

Oh no...did you just forget your password to one of your accounts? If you don't remember the password, hopefully you managed to save it with Firefox's Password Manager. If that's the case, you can get back the password. Don't panic - there's a couple of cool tricks to reveal saved passwords.

1
Using the Security Menu

  1. 1
    Go to Tools. It is located on the top left corner for Windows Vista and 7 users.
  2. 2
    Click on Options.
  3. 3
    Click on Security. It's the tab with the lock.
  4. 4
    Click on Saved Passwords.
  5. 5
    Look for Show Passwords. The button is actually not highlighted.
  6. 6
    There will be a confirmation asking you whether you're sure about showing them. Select the Yes button.

Using Inspect Element

  1. 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.
  2. 2
    Right click within the password field. Select "Inspect Element".
  3. 3
    Change the password field type. After you inspect elements, a developer tool window will appear below, where you will see the code which is highlighted and code looks like . Double-click on "password" and change it to "text" like this: . Hit Enter now.
  4. 4
    View the password. 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.
