In IE, you can go to the website of which you’d want the password, and when the password is filled in type into the address bar

alert(document.getElementsByName(“password”)[0].value);

which will give you a nice popup box showing the filled password. Storing passwords is never safe. If that doesn’t work, check the name of the password field and use that instead of ‘password’

Conclusion: if you don’t want others to get your passwords, only store them on a pc you trust.

In reply to William Cross. I totally agree with William. You should save passwords only on computers which you trust. BTW, both Firefox and Chrome options of saving passwords have their advantage when we forget passwords and frequently use some forums or websites. On the other side, IE offers a complete security from the start which is good. Finally, it depends on how you use your computer and what your needs are.

This article is misleading at best… the author should have done a little more research!

That’s why we have Lastpass. But its also why I love Firefox, i always can easily find out my friends’ passwords. And I have a password on my account.
