Be remember, if you are following the correct security measures then it,s not easy to hack you.

View Saved PasswordsAs you seen in below image, my Google account is saved in Google chrome , Right click on the Password box field and select the Inspect element option.
Now you will find the type = “password” option there.
Now you just change the password field to any word it will show you the password. In my case i just changed type = “password” to type= “rumy” and it,s showing me my password.
With the same method , you are able to view the password of all web-browsers.
