Summary

Change all password inputs on a page into text inputs so you can easily see the contents of the password field. You no longer need to guess which character may or may not have been wrong and you won't need to start over.

NEW in version 1.1: You can now automatically show passwords by checking the box in the popup when clicking on the extension!!!

User reviews
This extension address a major annoyance for me; I don't work for the CIA, I'm not at a nuclear power plant, I'm not working on top secret projects at Area 51, so don't hide my passwords websites! While this extension works well it still has the annoyance of making me click a button so see my password and the button isn't even in the password field. Don't make me click a button to show passwords. Just turn it on until I turn it off.
