HOW TO VIEW PASSWORDS HIDDEN BY ASTERISK SYMBOL

                                Whenever you log-in your online account your password will be hidden by asterisk symbol due to security reasons. But if you want to check that you have typed correct password or not means its not possible due to security reasons. 

                                Some times Caps Lock may on so that you may type wrong password. Many web services such as online banking or mail services come with security login feature (https), these services give you only few chance (3 to 5 times) to enter the correct password. If you fail to do so then it may be possible that your account get banned or locked.

                                If you want to know what is hidden behind asterisk character means use bookmarklet. I found a nice bookmarklet which is given below. Drag the below given bookmarklet(View Password) into your bookmark bar. Listen the following screen-shot. 



                                 Now visit any webpage in which login is required. For example, let’s say Gmail.com. Enter your Gmail ID and password. Now click on the bookmarklet on the bookmark bar which you dragged in previous step.


                    A small dialog box appears displaying the password of your account.
                                  So now you can come to know that you have typed your password correctly or not. Hope this post is useful to you. Thank you for reading... Give me comments.
