Show password extension question

[ron_1]

So I installed the extension Show my password. The only way I can get it to work is by hovering the cursor over the password field after having already starting to type the password. Is this the way it's supposed to work? And the preference "Show password on context menu click" doesn't seem to do anything at all. (Also, the extension doesn't work at all in Protonmail. I assume that may be normal due to how Protonmail works??)

What I really want is something that will show the password automatically without any hovering or clicking. I'm gathering that this extension doesn't do this.

No, it doesn't.
It only shows passwords on hover on standard password fields (protonmail probably doesn't use one? not sure what other field they would use instead though) once they are filled in (automatic filling is disabled by default in Pale Moon because it's a considerable risk of exploitation due to password stealing scripts). The hovering is a basic security consideration for a viewable screen and I don't think the extension allows you to basically completely remove all masking from password fields.
