You may have noticed that some programs will hide a saved password with asterisks. This is great unless you forget your password! Luckily, if it’s saved, you can still login, but instead of resetting your password, you can unhide it using Asterisk Logger. Awesome!
I just use a browser bookmarklet for this, got it (and a few more useful ones) at http://www.labnol.org/internet/guide-to-useful-bookmarklets/7931/
I use the UnhidePasswords addon for Firefox for web forms. Works great.
