Hello all - my problem is I changed my yahoo password, because it was
hacked, entered it into SM 2.11.
I did not write it down and now cannot get into the web site using the
pw I thought it was. I Am able to get mail vis-a-vis SM. Is the
password
stored somewhere that I can retrieve it easily or do I have to
change it
and write it down this time?
Thank you-Bo1953
If you have/use a SM Master Password you can go into the SM Password
Manager, choose "Show Passwords", and you will be prompted to enter
your
Master Password - SM will then let you see the Passwords it has stored.
WARNING - if you don't have a Master and enter one just to try this SM
will wipe out *all* of your Stored Passwords as it resets!
I'm not sure what the SM Password Manager does if you don't use a
Master...I've never used SM without one. And this situation is *why* I
use one. But the same may actually even if you don't have a Master
Password set - which is a bit dangerous, security-wise.
If you have not set a Master Password for SM then use the Password
Manager to reveal all your passwords. The Password Manager works the
same for both preferences, (master password set, or never set). The
warning above should be noted, If you set a Master Password SM will wipe
out all previous passwords.

Thank you everyone for responding. So if I understand correctly, the
passwords under Edit-Preferences-Privacy-Passwords holds the passwords
for SM email accounts which are part of the suite??
Or go to: Tools->Password Manager->Manage Stored Passwords. That will
show *all* passwords that you've stored.
I know that passwords for web based access to web sites are there, but
did not know that it contained the passwords for SM mail/newsgroups.
Yes - it contains *all* of what you've told/allowed SM to save. You can
recognize what is which by the associated domain name or URL.
Thank you for confirming this.

....de nada.
Rufus and all,
I have gone to Edit -> Privacy & Security -> Passwords and found the
PW's, where they always have been. Yet when I use the passwords stored
there to try and access my yahoo webmail, none of them work. There are
three (3) showing.
Yet, SM mail box can access and retrieve mail for that box. I constantly
lock myself out of the mailbox trying to guess the pw.
Any other ideas or suggestions as to where I can find the PW's for SM
mail suite stored?
TIA - SamuelS
