Hi all,

Luvin' my Powerbook (thanks all for tips thus far). Is there a Mac-friendly application that will reveal the password behind asterisks? I have a program that connects online to a website and requires me to login. My password expired and in order for me to change it, I need to know the previous one. On the Windoze side, there are several utilities... any Mac friendly ones?

All the websites I know can just email you a new password. If you do have a password that is showing up as asterisks and want to know what it has typed, well you can look in the keychain because keychain put it there. It's in your Utilities' folder.
