expose text in password field textbox?

many moons ago i had a small app that you could drag onto a textbox in an
application or on a website that contained text that was hidden with
asterisks and the underlying text would be revealed. im wondering how this
was done and is it something i can easily duplicate?

That sounds like the hidden text was displayed using a font consisting of an
asterisk for each character, in which case "all" that would be needed would
be to copy the text and display it in a normal font.
