Personal credentials awareness on computers

in #technology7 years ago (edited)

Hello Steemers! This is my first post since i joined though i don't know much about this social network but i want to give it a try, so my post is about "Credential awareness" for your personal desktop or laptop. Most non technical people are very vulnerable on this, so this might help you and be aware on how technology work. Some of you might know this already but please support me since i don't know what to post (lol). This post is quite about "Hacking" its a simple trick on how to extract "Dotted" password and convert it as "Plain text". You can apply this at any browser you're in. So let's get started!, btw you can try this on your end.

So this my sample login below. It's a facebook login. Our goal is to extract the dotted password btw i'm using Chrome.

Sample Lopgin

Now what we will do:

  • Step 1. Highlight the dotted password
  • Step 2. After, right click and choose Inspect element

Next step will be:

  • Step 1. You will see the HTML code for "password" as you can see below.
  • Step 2. Highlight the "password" by double clicking the word or manually hover your mouse.
  • Step 3. Change the value inside the "password" instead you type "show".

This is the final output as you can see the dotted password changes to plain text. You can use any value for the btw, i just used "show" for flashy example :P

I want to spread the awareness for those who are using online transactions and for the peeps who are using the "remember my password" filed. My advise is always lock your computer whenever you will leave them open.

Hope this post helped you.

Very informative and worth sharing specially to non-techy peeps like me and a bestfriend of "Save Password".
