I recall being able to view POST request payloads/form data through the Google Chrome Network tool not a while back. I used to be able to see things like my Facebook and Craigslist login credentials when they were POSTed using the Form Data section of the Headers tab, but that Form Data section has seemingly disappeared. I don't know what happened but I have a few guesses: 1. Did Chrome remove this feature? 2. Can websites now include in the HTML markup a way to hide POST bodies from chrome dev tools? 3. Is the feature turned off somewhere in my settings where I can re-turn it on?
Automating a task and the project depends heavily on being able to view that post data. Thank you in advance

Under the 'Headers' tab, you will be able to find the 'Form Data' section that contains the data that was submitted as part of that request. Note, that if the form has an enctype attribute of multipart/form-data , then the data will be under the 'Request Payload' section in a slightly different format.
In Chrome, visit a URL(such as https://www.google.com ), right click, select Inspect to open the developer tools. Select Network tab. Reload the page, select any HTTP request on the left panel, and the HTTP headers will be displayed on the right panel.
Finding the Console/Network Tab in Google Chrome: Either click the three dots in the top right of your chrome browser to open the menu. Then, go to 'More tools > Developer Tools' and then switch to the Console Tab. Or, Press Ctrl+Shift+J (Windows / Linux) or Cmd+Opt+J (Mac).
Good news, a fix has been commited to the repo, however it won't probably make it to v63 release, so we will likely have to wait for v64... The best way to get it ASAP is to get dev/beta version of Chrome and wait till it arrives there. I will update this once it arrives into the public release of Chrome.
Update: It appears that this has been merged to v63 release, so it should be out very soon for all users.
