Since my last post, I recalled that I occasionally have had this experience before of no passwords showing. Sure enough, I just tried again and this time all my passwords came up. I don't understand, of course, why this is erratic. Anyway, I did delete the old password. I tested signing in a couple of times, and that field is now blank--which is fine with me. But now I'm curious how the previous password's dots even got into that field.
Whether or not I ever learn that, thank you, Andy, for leading me to the solution. *~Diane* On Tue, Aug 18, 2015 at 9:00 PM, DEP/Dodo <[email protected]> wrote: > Just thought of something.
