What is ShowPassword?
'ShowPassword' is a unique Chrome extension designed to enhance user experience by revealing a password when a mouse cursor hovers over the input fields. It not only helps users by reducing the need for password resets due to forgotten entries but also boosts efficiency. With options to make passwords visible during Double Click, On Focus, or the Pressing of the Ctrl Key, it provides the flexibility to tailor its function to suit individual privacy preferences. For transparency, the extension's source code is available on GitHub. Recent updates include the resolution of bugs and improved functionality for various websites.
