Ever forgot a saved password? Happens to me all the time, well here is a way to get that password back. You will only be able to get passwords stored in Firefox.

1. In firefox select the Bookmarks dropdown and click Organize bookmarks.
2. Click on New Bookmark
3. Enter the following data:
   1. Name: Get Password
   2. Location: javascript:(function(){var s,F,j,f,i; s = ""; F = document.forms; for(j=0; j<F.length; ++j) { f = F[j]; for (i=0; i<f.length; ++i) { if (f[i].type.toLowerCase() == “password”) s += f[i].value + “\n”; } } if (s) alert(”Passwords in forms on this page:\n\n” + s); else alert(”There are no passwords in forms on this page.”);})();
   3. Keyword: Password Retrieval
   4. Description: Retrieves saved passwords.
4. Click OK to add the bookmark
5. Now go to a web page that has your password saved, aka you see a bunch of *’s in the password field.
6. Go to your bookmarks and click the bookmark we just created(get password)
7. A popup box will now appear on your computer with your password!
