Show Password โ€“ Chrome Extension

Got it ๐Ÿ‘ Iโ€™ve updated the LinkedIn post draft to clearly mention installation instructions, GitHub availability, and that support for other browsers/stores is coming soon:

๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ’ป If youโ€™re a web developer, youโ€™ve definitely been hereโ€ฆ

Youโ€™re testing a login form, typing your password again and againโ€ฆ and then realize you mistyped.
What happens next?

๐Ÿ‘‰ Open DevTools
๐Ÿ‘‰ Inspect the input field
๐Ÿ‘‰ Change type="password" โ†’ type="text"
๐Ÿ‘‰ Finally, you can see the password.

Iโ€™ve been there countless times โ€” and honestly, it sucks. It breaks your flow and feels like unnecessary overhead for something so small.

So, I built a solution. ๐Ÿš€

โœจ A Chrome Extension that lets you reveal your password instantly โ€” no DevTools, no extra clicks, just one clean action.

๐Ÿ”น Saves time
๐Ÿ”น Keeps you in the flow
๐Ÿ”น Super lightweight

Right now, itโ€™s available only on GitHub, and can be installed manually in Chrome.
๐Ÿ“Ž Please find the installation instructions in the attached README.

๐ŸŒ Browser & store support:

โœ… Chrome (via GitHub install)

โณ Firefox, Edge, Opera โ†’ coming soon

โณ Chrome Web Store & other browser stores โ†’ coming soon

If this sounds useful, you can try it out here: ๐Ÿ”— GitHub link

โญ And if you like it, please leave a star on the repo โ€” it really helps and keeps me motivated to build more dev-friendly tools!
