Convert asterisk to saved password from browser

Most browsers will ask if you want your passwords saved so when you’re next jumping around the web, logging into sites is that bit easier.

Sometime, you need get back your password from that saved password.

You have many ways to do that. The common way is go to Saved password session in Setting of browser to claim them.

  • Firefox: Click Menu button -> Options -> Security tab -> Click Saved Logins… then click Show password
  • Chrome: Click the Chrome menu -> Settings, Scroll down and click Show advanced settings -> Manage passwords -> Click Show then type the PC password.
