1406840 - Login Credentials visible to everyone

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 933223

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[Sunu]

Attachment: mozila.docx

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 7.0; BLN-L22 Build/HONORBLN-L22) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/61.0.3163.98 Mobile Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

Just entered my credentials to the field for Email id and Password, credentials are saved. If unknown person go the field and click inspect tool and change the type of the field to text! The Password is visible to everyone. 


Actual results:

The credentials are visible to everyone while it has to be hidden. Seems to be a website /Web Page problem of keeping it dynamic rather than static. 


Expected results:

It not a big issue at individual level, but on an organisation where security is the main thing, this is going to harm a lot. Other browsers also have this issue but if you guys could do something about it, then mozilla will rock.Tak this as my humble suggestion. Thanks

This is a feature of the inspector, and not one we can / are going to remove. It also works in Safari, Chrome and Edge - every major browser, really. Do not enter your password on a machine / OS user account that you share with anyone else. This includes public machines that do not get wiped (like improperly secured internet cafés).
