Are there any protections against users using Chrome Developer Tools to right click on a password input field, and then change input type="pass" to "text" to reveal the password?

There are probably JavaScript ways but once again that is extremely easy to disable.

Any improvement is better than what we have now, as the trick is too commonly known.

EDIT: Jesus Christ you are all a bunch of academics (that is an insult) if I really have to explain this, which I will now:

Obviously our website is as secure as we can manage, from EV SSL to proper software development techniques, we get audited and have professional world class companies perform pentration test against us. I am just curious if there is away to prevent people from using the common trick of right clicking the password field to reveal the inputted password...

What a fiasco over a simple question, you bunch of academic time wasters!

Academics are sometimes annoying.

Protecting against input type ="password" changes?
