With our sign-ups to a multitude of websites increasing every day, it is indeed hard to remember every username-password combo.So, many of us use the "Remember password" feature of browser or more securely a good password manager.But during sign-ins they use auto-fill and we often forget the passwords.
        Also, often we need to recall the passwords saved in Home/Office networking devices like modems, routers.
   We may view these web-based passwords using Chrome in 2 easy steps :

  1. Right click on Password field and select "Inspect Element"


2. In the 'div' element double click and edit <input type="password" to <input type="text" and hit Enter



This will reveal the password.
