I have SeaMonkey 2.20 on a Vista machine.
For sites I don't consider vital, I have SeaMonkey remember the
passwords, and when I forget one, I open Password Manager and look it up.
However, with the latest version of SeaMonkey, this no longer works. It
still acts like it is remembering the passwords, but when I go to look
one up, the Password manager option opens Data Manager, showing all the
cookies that have been installed.
Is there a way to look up my forgotten passwords?
This might help:
chrome://passwordmgr/content/passwordManager.xul
Put that into your location bar and press Enter. Then filter on the
domain in question.
There is an easier way to locate your passwords then that suggested by
Ed Mullen.
To lookup a forgotten password click on the menu item Tools->Password
Manager->Manage Stored Passwords
When the new window opens locate the name of the site you forgot the
password for in the left hand sidebar and highlight it. Next in the
window on the right you will see the option "Passwords" at the top of
the window. Click on it. At the bottom of the right page you see the
option "show Passwords" and the password for the highlighted site will
be revealed along with your username.
I use this method whenever I forget a password. Much easier than having
to first locate your user profile file and find a cryptic file.
I prefer not to have to delve into my user profile if I can obtain the
same result using the SeaMonkey Menu (ui). It is much safer as messing
with the user profile may in some cases mess things up if one is not
careful.
