Chrome-Extension-Behind-The-Asterisks

Reveal What Is Behind The Asterisks Of A Password On Mouse Hover.

Ever mistype a password, and were had to delete all the characters- and wrote the whole thing again?

I think hiding a password behind "*" on YOUR OWN PC is rather pointless.

so I've wrote this Chrome extension to help me copy & paste, or edit long passwords very easily,

and once you move your mouse-cursor away, it's hidden again! Easy!

Behind-The-Asterisks is 100% free (as beer..), include no ads (I hate those!), does NOT collect any data, include NO analytics, works entirely offline,

  • and completely open-source.

  • Easily Edit Any Password-Field Text-Content, Copy And Paste Fully Supported.
  • As Soon You'll Move Away Your Mouse-Cursor Or When Done With The Editing And Focus Something Else On The Page, The Password Field Will Be Back In Its *** Or ••• Form.
