facebook featuresPhoto tagging a cool feature that allow us to tag people on the photo they are. But people now use this feature to get attention of other people. On Facebook, People upload a photo and then tag people to get their attention for maximum likes and comments. This is fun for them, but irritates others. 


It also floods our wall with some waste of time photos. Personally, I hate being tag from photos in which I am not. If you want to review all tags before going live on website, you can add this settings from privacy settings.

But how to remove all those photos on which I am tagged and shown on my wall photos. If you will go and remove tag one by one, It will take much time. Now Facebook has an option to select all the photos from which you want to remove the photo tag and then remove tag.

SEE STORED PASSWORD IN CHROME

Browsers have a nice feature of storing passwords for website logins. This feature allows users to save passwords and then they do not need to type username and passwords. When they will open the websites' login page, browser will fill up the username and password automatically. We can login the websites only by clicking on the signin button.


To make work easy people store username and password of various website. Suppose you have stored a password few weeks ago but do not remember it now. Then how to know what was the password?

There are few ways by which we can access the password stored on the browser.

Tip 1: Open the browser and go to settings. Scroll down the settings page and then click on Show Advance settings.
Now scroll down the page more and then select "Passwords and forms." Now click on Manage Saved Passwords.
Here you will see websites with saved passwords. Now select the website for which you want to see the password. Click on the password of corresponding website and click on show button. It will show you the password.

Tip 2: Use Inspect Element in browser
Visit the website that has password stored. Now right click on the password and then select Inspect Element from the context menu.
It will show the code in the bottom half of the page with the password field code selected. Right click on the select code and select Edit as HTML

Now change value of type attribute to text that was password. It means change type="password" to type="text"
And see that the password in the field is now text in place of password dots.

These are the two methods to see the passwords stored in the browsers. Some third-party tools are also available which allow that fetches password from the stored list and then generates an external file.
