How To See The Password Behind Asterisks (*) On Any Web Page! Here I'm sharing this trick to see the password behind the asterisks (*) or Stars (as non-tech people call it). This trick can be useful if someone has left their password typed on a site or they have enabled password saving in the browser.  The tricks works by changing the "type" attribute of the HTML input tag on the page. When the value of the "type" attribute is "password" , everything typed in it is seen as asterisks, but when you change it to the "text", you will be able to see the password. This trick can be used on ANY web-page or site, but in this post I'm doing it on Facebook, since it is the most popular one and I'm sure most of you are going to try it there.
