Password Field Reveal

WHAT IT DOES

Password Field Reveal adds a convenient toggle button to every password input field on the page, letting you show or hide the password text with a single click. The button appears as an eye icon (👁) inside the password field—click it to reveal the password as plain text, and click again to hide it. The tool remembers the reveal state per field so your preference persists across page interactions. You can also use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+. to toggle visibility without using the mouse, and enable auto-reveal on focus to automatically show the password when you click into the field. A visual indicator shows the current visibility state, and the button works with all password fields on the page.

WHERE IT RUNS

The extension runs entirely within your browser's local environment using the BotGentz framework. All password field detection, visibility toggling, and state management occur on your machine without any network requests. No password data, settings, or user activity is ever transmitted, uploaded, or stored externally. The tool works on any website and respects the browser's security boundaries, operating within the isolated extension sandbox. Password visibility is controlled by changing the input type attribute between "password" and "text".

HOW TO USE

Click the extension toolbar icon to open the Password Field Reveal panel. The tool works automatically—every password field on the page gets a toggle button. Click the eye icon (👁) to reveal the password text; click the eye icon with a slash (🙈) to hide it again. Use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+. to toggle the visibility of the focused password field. Toggle "Show reveal button" to show or hide the toggle buttons. Toggle "Remember reveal state" to keep the password visible across page loads and form submissions. Toggle "Keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+.)" to enable or disable the hotkey. Toggle "Auto reveal on focus" to automatically reveal the password when you click into a password field. Change the button position between "Right" and "Left" using the dropdown selector. Click "Refresh Fields" to detect any password fields added dynamically to the page.

THE PASSWORD REVEAL ENGINE — WHY IT WORKS

Most password reveal features are built into specific browsers or password managers and don't work consistently across all fields. This tool adds a custom toggle button to every password field by wrapping the field in a container and positioning a button overlay inside it. The engine uses the HTML5 input type attribute—changing it from "password" to "text" reveals the text, and changing it back hides it. This is the standard, secure way to toggle password visibility and works with all modern browsers. The button is positioned absolutely within the input field's wrapper using CSS, with a backdrop blur effect for a polished appearance. The keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+.) uses a global keydown listener that checks if the focused element is a password field and toggles it. The remember state feature stores the visibility status in GM_setValue using a unique identifier for each field (id, name, or a generated ID). When the page reloads, the stored state is restored, preserving the user's preference. This approach ensures consistent, reliable password visibility control across any site.

THE PANEL

The Password Field Reveal panel is fully draggable by its title bar and remembers its position on screen per website. It snaps to the edges of your browser window for clean alignment. Collapse the panel to a compact icon strip using the minimize button, restoring it with a single click. Resize the panel by dragging any edge or corner; the settings and controls adjust proportionally. Press the Escape key to close the panel instantly. The panel maintains independent state for each browser tab, allowing you to control password reveal settings in multiple tabs simultaneously.

PLEASE NOTE

This extension requires the free BotGentz extension framework to be installed and enabled. Revealing a password means it is visible on screen—be cautious when using this feature in public or shared spaces. The tool does not store passwords; it only remembers the visibility state. Some websites may use custom password fields that are not standard input elements; these may not be detected by the tool. The keyboard shortcut may conflict with other browser shortcuts on some sites. All password data is processed locally and is never transmitted, logged, or shared. The extension requests no network permissions and functions entirely offline. The source code is fully auditable and available for review.
