    Internet Explorer 8 Saved passwords
    « on: February 07, 2011, 08:53:38 PM »
    Is there a way to expose the saved passwords without downloading any software? You've all seen those ****** or ●●●●●●● in the password field. How can i see what actual characters are?


    Just pointing out, this thread is not related to my other thread in this section. lol Ive got that all worked out.

      or, downloading something is fine too. If it Is necessary to download something to do to what i want, could i put the software on an external drive and then use it without putting it on the main system?

      Why do you want to expose them?  If they could be easily exposed, they wouldn't provide much security, now would they?  If you're trying to recall a certain password, then use the Forgot password feature on the website and reset your password.
