This is a short little tip, but could be helpful to many. I’ve had it happen several times with Internet Explorer…the browser is saving a password for you, but you actually need to know what it is, but all you see is asterisks. A trick is a password recovery utility. Such a utility is Asterisk Key, a free utility from Lostpassword.com. It will reveal the password for almost any program when hidden by asterisks. I should mention, though, that this can be a security risk on your PC, too, so use it carefully.
