Show Password – Chrome Extension

Got it πŸ‘ I’ve updated the LinkedIn post draft to clearly mention installation instructions, GitHub availability, and that support for other browsers/stores is coming soon:

πŸ‘¨β€πŸ’» If you’re a web developer, you’ve definitely been here…

You’re testing a login form, typing your password again and again… and then realize you mistyped.
What happens next?

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

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

So, I built a solution. πŸš€

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

πŸ”Ή Saves time
πŸ”Ή Keeps you in the flow
πŸ”Ή Super lightweight

Right now, it’s available only on GitHub, and can be installed manually in Chrome.
πŸ“Ž Please find the installation instructions in the attached README.

🌍 Browser & store support:

βœ… Chrome (via GitHub install)

⏳ Firefox, Edge, Opera β†’ coming soon

⏳ Chrome Web Store & other browser stores β†’ coming soon

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

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