Mozilla Firefox is really a great browser and it among the best browser with capability of beautiful add-on to help your work do easily. This post is all about trick (can’t be called as hacking because it so easy) to retrieving saved password on Firefox.
Everytime when you login into your favorite mail like Gmail or Yahoo Mails, Firefox on the top just below the address bar and navigation bars pop-ups a bar asking you to whether to remember your password for same site which you login in for further to help you save you time when you visit the site for your mail you needn’t type again your user name and password. Here is my view on when to click on Remember my Password and when not to. There is one is slight disadvantage if you click on Remember My Password. Your password is stored onto your browser can be seen by anyone. Now here is the simple trick on how you can show all the password stored on your Firefox.
How to Retrieve Saved Password in Firefox
1. In your Firefox please navigate from Tools> Options
2. Under Options proceed toward security area and click on ‘save password’ area.
3. A compatible window will appear before your screen which will show up all your identities and related passwords (shown above). When you click on Show Password your passwords for that particular site would be shown to you.
With that 3 steps you can view saved passwords on to your Firefox.
