Almost all of us have used Ctrl+ F on the Chrome, right? When you have to find out a specific word on the webpage, you can use the shortcut to trigger the search field.

What if you want to find the synonyms? Then, the shortcut doesn’t work well. It would be better if you search for image, it shows synonyms (like picture, photo) along with the actual word as well.

The extension highlights the paragraphs with desired word in yellow and presents the words on the right side of the screen.

We often type wrong characters as passwords and then empty the whole field because we don’t know exactly what character went wrong.

You can setup the trigger from options of ShowPassword. There are multiple ways including double click, ctrl and a few others.

So, you will never have typos in your password anymore.
