Chrome Extension to display a hidden password

ShowPass Chrome Extension

Just a simple Chrome extension to toggle the type of an INPUT tag between 'text' and 'password'. This enables you to display the password you just typed quickly.


Workflow

Injects a content script to add listeners on each INPUT element to execute a anonymous function which checks the mouse button and what kind of tag it is. After passing those constraints it sets the element to the clickedElement variable. It also adds an onRequest listener which calls the toggle function. The background script adds a new context menu which only appears on editable elements. On click it sends a request over the extension framework to toggle the type attribute.
