                  By Using this trick you can know saved passwords of others.Basically it is not a trick it is a option which many of us doesn’t take care unknowingly.For this you should have access to others computer directly..Actually what these saved passwords means is when you first entering your user name and password for logging in any website many browsers by default asks to save those username and password and many of us tell the browser to save it so that in future we can get it when we enter that website thinking that it will keep secure. But anyone can access those saved passwords unless he/she keeps a master password which may of us don’t know or forgets sometimes .So we can make their laziness as an advantage in making fun.I will tell you how to find these saved passwords in Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome .
For Mozilla Firefox:
First open Firefox and you can see the menu bar at the top of the browser with options like File Edit etc…At the end of the list you can find the Tools optionimage  you just click it and you can see a drop down menu  like this
imageand at the end you can see the option ‘Options’ at the end of the menu and press it and now you can see a dialogue box like this and click on the Security tab at the top of the box an then the Saved Passwords Button at the right bottom of the box which you can see in the figure ..image Now you will get another dialogue box in which you will have all the saved usernames with respective website Urls and by clicking the show Passwords button at the right corner you can see the passwords with their respective usernames..image  But first keep a master password for your browser before you check for others  passwords b’coz others may check yours …
For Google Chrome:
In the same way as for Firefox you have to open the chrome first and then you should click on the  setting icon which will be at the top right corner of the browser window .image  Then you will get a dropdown menu and you should click on the ‘Options’ and you will get a dialogue box as shown ..imageI think now you can see the passwords block and the ‘Show saved Passwords’ button and you just click on the button and you will get another dialogue box with usernames and respective website Urls .imageSelect the website in which you want to know the password and click the option ‘Show password’  which will be active only when you selects a site and you can get the password below the Show password Button ..
I think you can get these passwords for every browser .If some one wants for some specific browser you can post a comment then i will give them the specific information ..Guys but be careful and first set a master password for your browser ..
