Don't auto Save your login details

[NeuroticFish]

Firefox has an in built password manager, lockwise.
If you auto save your logins in firefox  this won't happen. But you should never do this is on public computers anyway.

Chrome has its own and it stores them encrypted with different password that the one for user profile.
But this doesn't matter. It was already said (I'll bold it and make it big) and it covers the story correctly:

You should never be logging in to anything using a public computer.

I always make it a point to delete the computer cache and history  I've used when ever I logged in an internet cafe, because some internet cafes are not using a deepfreeze software, so the computer always remember your history and your prints, but I'm glad I'm not going into the cafe since I have a laptop and netbook around

Step # 4:
Change this <input type="password"
Into <input type="Text"

Woah nice trick you got there sir, didn't know it.
Thats why avoiding all software password storage options are a good thing. Don't trust any software in general. Verify, test.

This is very good option because I am also doing this for some long time as one of my friend has some serious problems due to this password reminder mostly I try to avoid public computers because of security but sometime if I have to use then must try to delete all things after use.

Today, we will see how you can hack any password, but only those who will have saved the password while logging in.

It is not hacking any password if it doesn't involved any password cracking or brute forcing. Saved passwords is already "Saved" then using such html tags isn't necessary. Also, browsers do already have the feature that shows you all saved passwords in it.

You could see it in Settings > Additional Settings > Auto-fill > Passwords > then click on the unhide icon beside the password saved. (I use Brave browser and this is the process of showing saved passwords)

thank you. Thanks for the compliment, Hope everyone has tested this

Good work and changing the password to "text" seems to function to see the password that has been saved but only on the PC that has been used and the password is stored there.

I have tested it and it works because I also save several passwords on the site on my PC to make it easier for me to automatically enter the site on another occasion. But I certainly will never save passwords on PCs that are used by the public like in internet cafes. Thats ridiculous to me.

- In order for "show password feature" to fully function in the Chrome browser, you have to know the "windows password" first before you can unhide it...
- Judging by your comment, I guess Brave browser allows its user to access passwords without layer protection, am I right ^{[or you just don't use any passwords on your computer]}?

If you save your password, the password will be saved on your computer somewhere. If you save your password in a Chrome browser, Chrome will save your password, and you can access any saved password by going to chrome://settings/passwords

If you have your password saved via a password manager, you can access the plaintext password by accessing your password manager, and inputting a password/decryption phrase, if necessary. If you are using public internet of some sort, there is always the risk the internet provider, or someone impersonating the internet provider will change the HTML/JS of any website you are visiting and intercept data you submit via any website if you are not paying close attention.

It is one of the things that we must do in order to protect our personal data from hackers. It is better to delete the computer cache because in that way, people won't have any access of your accounts. Personally, I don't used any computer aside from my own because I am aware how risky it is. I just don't trust anything or anyone with any of my information that can possibly used against me. We don't know people's real intention and they might just grab that opportunity to exploit our personal data, so we have to be cautious with our actions.

I do have a pin as a security measure in my Windows 10 Laptop and I don't found any additional security measures / protection layer in accessing unhide autofilled passwords, as the browser always prompt users if a password that was inserted in a text field would be save for future password filling.

I've also tried it with Chrome (Brave is just an enhanced version of chrome FYI) but it worked the same. Do you have any proof with your argument?

Probably because you just had unlocked your computer, so it didn't ask for any, or you have something switched off. Using the browser's password manager is dumb anyways. It's much better to use 1Password, Lastpass, Dashlane, etc...

I think this will educate those who are using computer in an internet cafe. It's kinda interesting when i saw the title. But at least it can help, thanks though.

Can you access this from a different computer?
I believed you could see the password since it is already typed in the textbox, I think it might be exposed if you could access it on another computer.
you cannot inspect anything if they don't have access to your computer it should be mine in my opinion. Unless you saved your password from a rental computer.

Of course, it's if he is using the same computer as the person who first logged in with the saved password. This is why I think it's not even a wise decision to go to a cafe to browse. It isn't even safe to do that on one's PC or phone because any of these items can get into a wrong hand without a preplan.

It's okay to save password as long as it is your own device and no one uses your personal computers or laptop if ever. But if you are on an internet cafe, It is better for the user to not save their password because like on the post, that way can see your password. So, if you're logging in on other device, better make sure that you don't save or click that "Remember your password".

Doesn't Chrome send all your passwords to Google's central servers for storage? The same Google who have been caught several times storing passwords in plain text? Terrible idea to trust Google with your security.

Please read the other posts in the thread. Simply not saving your password by no means protects you if you choose to log in from a public computer. The public computer could have any amount of monitoring or surveillance software or hardware installed which can steal your passwords, and you also have to completely trust that the internet connection isn't also being monitored or otherwise compromised.

Chrome store passwords as well but you can ignore if you don't want, really I don't bother myself about this because I use Authentication modes like
1. SMS to my mobile number
2. SMS to my email address
3. 2FA Authentication mode

With these three activated on websites or exchanges you will be on the safest side

AFAIK you can choose to synchronize your passwords with your Google Account so you have access to it from other devices. So, yes.

Mostly login details are saved if you have either saved the passwords or you have cookies saving these details. Deleting the cookies folder and not saving passwords would solve the problem and it's not possible that the details are available on all computers like the cafe where you haven't been logged in earlier. Saving login details on your own computer/phone also is dangerous as if your computer/phone gets hacked, the hacker can directly access your account. In the phone as well I keep deleting data everyday and prefer logging in everytime I access the app.

Lockwise os different because it is a password manager. It can generate new passwords, while chrome, as far as I know  can't.

Well it will save your account information if you agree to save it but if you not then you'll need to retype it again if you are logging in which is recommended for our accounts safety, i think cookies has less work about the credentials and it is more about our browsing activities. I think it is just simple, if possible do not use public computers in accessing your wallets or exchange site you stored your money but if not then make sure to watch yourself from clicking too much so that your account will not be in danger. If you have your own device, laptop or phone you can save your account details for it is only you who will use that device.
