No long a password question

by loazis • 14 Sep 2010, 16:30 • Journals
Harro,

I have a question concerning the visibility of entered passwords.

I lost the letter I received that contained the login data for the various online applications and sites my university uses. Luckily, Firefox remembers my username and password for one website, but I need to login to Blackboard (marvellous piece of web 2.0 by the way) as well with the same data. I obviously can't copy the password from the one password box to the other (since it's all dots) so I was wondering if there was a way to make this password visible so I could write it down, fill it in at the other website and never lose it again.

Any ideas on how to solve this dreadful crisis? :(

Harro,

How do you like your eggs?

First of all load up firefox

Look at the drop down menu called 'tools' up the top

In that menu, you will find an 'Options' button. Click it.

Up the top of your menu, you will find a security tab, with a padlock as it's icon. Click it.

Here you will see all of the passwords stored. If you want to look at the password, you must press 'Show Passwords'
