# Show Password on Focus

![Password revealed](http://nv.github.com/show-password-on-focus.js/intro.png)

This script based on [Show Password onFocus](http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/1892) by LouCypher.

The only difference is a [fixed password manager](http://userscripts.org/topics/43982).

## Install [show_password_onfocus.user.js](http://userscripts.org/scripts/source/68664.user.js)

Tested on Firefox Greasemonkey, Google Chrome, Opera, and Safari GreaseKit.

## [Google Chrome extension](https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/ogjaejebjmifpkiaafdnnpkkjnmopmhn)

## [Safari extension](http://userscripts.ru/js/show-password-on-focus/Show_Password_on_Focus.safariextz)

Like UserJS, but with autoupdate and nice icon.

## Quote from Jakob Nielsen

  

  
Usability suffers when users type in passwords and the only feedback they get is a row of bullets. Typically, masking passwords doesn't even increase security, but it does cost you business due to login failures.
