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!
