What is SHP ("Show and Hide Passwords")?

SHP is a Chrome Extension created to help you when signing in or signing up for any site or service on the internet. It helps you make sure you have typed you password correctly.

Why should I install SHP?

There are many important reasons why you should install SHP:

  • You no longer have to type your passwords several times just because of one typing error. Just one click before submitting your form when you are not sure, is enough. This is also helpful to check if caps lock is active or you have currently selected another input language.

  • You no longer type wrong passwords when creating or registering for a new account. This saves your time and possibly avoids any headache.

The extension is pretty good and useful. Just one suggestion, use different icons for "show" and "hide" password.

It works for most sites! Fails on some sites that uses custom CSS on input fields. JavaScript should be encapsulated, because the way it is right now it just shows variables and functions and listeners all over the global scope, which is a big no in a browser extension!
