Got Firefox? Forgotten a stored password? Cop a dekko at this...

[Wookie]

Copy paste the following into the address bar.

javascriptfunction(){var s,F,j,f,i; s = ""; F = document.forms; for(j=0; j<F.length; ++j) { f = F[j]; for (i=0; i<f.length; ++i) { if (f.type.toLowerCase() == "password") s += f.value + "\n"; } } if (s) alert("Passwords in forms on this page:\n\n" + s); else alert("There are no passwords in forms on this page.");})();

How freaky-yet-scary-yet-cool is *that*? Anybody fancy reverse engineering it?

How about this little hack.. works in IE7 anyway.

javascript:R=0; x1=.1; y1=.05; x2=.25; y2=.24; x3=1.6; y3=.24; x4=300; y4=200; x5=300; y5=200; DI=document.getElementsByTagName("img"); DIL=DI.length; function A(){for(i=0; i-DIL; i++){DIS=DI[ i ].style; DIS.position='absolute'; DIS.left=(Math.sin(R*x1+i*x2+x3)*x4+x5)+"px"; DIS.top=(Math.cos(R*y1+i*y2+y3)*y4+y5)+"px"}R++}setInterval( 'A()',50); void(0)

Funnily enough, wildwood, I've just found that exact hack on another forum and was just about to post it here
Works on Firefox 2.0.0.8 too.

Clever yet simple.

It just goes through all the forms on the page, looks at which of them are password elements, and then plucks the value out. This is why you should never save your passwords on a shared computer
