This content originally appeared on DEV Community and was authored by karan nakra

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

👨‍💻 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?

👉 Open DevTools
👉 Inspect the input field
👉 Change type=”password” → type=”text”
👉 Finally, you can see the password.

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

So, I built a solution. 🚀

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

🔹 Saves time
🔹 Keeps you in the flow
🔹 Super lightweight

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

🌍 Browser & store support:

✅ Chrome (via GitHub install)

⏳ Firefox, Edge, Opera → coming soon

⏳ Chrome Web Store & other browser stores → coming soon

If this sounds useful, you can try it out here: 🔗 GitHub link

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