Hey! I can see your Pass****

Posted on November 9, 2006

Update: They haven’t updated their site yet. Maybe i should shoot them an email…

Five minutes ago (yeah honest!), I visited Philippine Web Awards website to check the latest news and to vote as well. I was typing in my password when I realized that the input box for password is not set to password. Yeah That was cool! haha

Philippine Web Awards

Basically, the input type should be set to password so that others won’t see your password, they will only see those asterisks or dots.

Is it a big Issue? What if someone saw your password? What if you use one password for every account that you have?

Web is not just about the design, we also consider the security. I know that this is just a small issue but we don’t know what might and could happen.
