    you can't see your password. before you get your new computer and assuming you are still using the same email address that you used when you signed up here. log out and then go though the "I forgot my password" prompts when you try to sign back in.

    Somewhere your computer saves your passwords, try looking in passwords.

    There should be an option to show the actual password, click on it to change the dots to show the password
     
  6. Do this and think of a new password that nobody else would ever think of, say maybe "hotrod" or "Model A" or as the joke goes for old farts "i forget" :D

  8. Wonder if the OP ever got his passwords to display . . . o_O

    Your browser is where you'll most likely find your passwords listed, assuming you've asked to have them saved. Click on the TOOLS or SETTINGS button in your browser and look for something like "Password Manager".

    If the number of dots you see looks like enough characters to be your password, look for a button that says "view" or "display" passwords. If you don't see that then look at the end of the string of dots for a tiny icon of an eyeball. Sometimes the icon is so small as to be indiscernable. Click the icon and see if the dots don't change to show your actual password.
    ;)

    If you use google chrome it saves all your passwords same with IPhone and IPad if I remember correctly my Samsung phone did also. Most will tell you if you’re using the same password and help you setup more secure passwords. Easy peasy….
