0 digitaljames Posted July 19, 2002 Share Posted July 19, 2002 Not possible without 3rd party software. And why would it bug you, you know your own passwords don't you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 djsaad1 Posted July 19, 2002 Share Posted July 19, 2002 if you are just sick of the * symbol then you can reshack your logonui and change it to something else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Vinh Posted July 19, 2002 Share Posted July 19, 2002 There use to be a program that can unmask ****** but on xp, its impossible i think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 IgwanaRob Posted July 20, 2002 Share Posted July 20, 2002 Originally posted by BxBoy PM me as well, I'm interested in something like this. www.iopus.com has a program that reveals the passwords in WinXP. Works quite well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you PM me too, please, and I don't see why it would be wrong to post it here. It's just a program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 BxBoy Posted July 25, 2002 Share Posted July 25, 2002 Originally posted by happymonkey i just hate the simply fact, i can't see what i type in, as i type it! Me too, but security comes first. Who knows, someone could be looking over your shoulder the moment you typed in your password. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 happymonkey Posted July 25, 2002 Author Share Posted July 25, 2002 yeah right...it should be user controlled via registry or something for low security environments...like my bedroom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
