How to view my sync password?

Since I started using Firefox sync I never have to enter user/password (it logs in automatically when I run the browser up - woo hoo). So in the meantime I've forgotten this information. But if I have my browser running and I've sync'd ok that information must be in the browser 'space' somewhere.
I have a new PC at home and want to get my sync'd info from my work PC. I can get the recovery key OK and print that off but what about the username/password?

If you saved your SYNC password in firefox, view your password here

If you didn't save the password, reset your Firefox SYNC password

  • How to view iTunes sync history

    I'm trying to figure out how to view the history of device syncs for itunes. I've found other websites that show file directories for Windows computers, but I haven't come across a way to view the history on a mac.
    P.S.-I'm not trying to erase my history, I want to VIEW it.

    Well my iPod screen is cracked. However I haven't dropped it or done anything to it that would crack it. I keep it in my pocket by itself so that keys or pens can't stab it. I had my ipod syncing on my computer, and I went to practice my violin for a good 30 mins or so, then afterwards I went to get back on my computer and I looked down at my ipod. And lo and behold a crack was on there. I have a younger brother who breaks EVERYTHING. And switching my ipod with his if he broke it is something I wouldn't put past him. However I want to check to see if I'm right or not, so I need to look at the history to see if the serial number of the ipod changed recently (meaning he switched them.)

  • HT204152 How to view app-specific password after generated

    I would like to enter app-specific password on my 2nd Mac, but I don't have a way to view the app-specific password generated earlier.
    I know I could generate another app-specific password for the same app. But it doesn't make sense if i couldn't view previously generated app-specific password.

    If it was saved automatically in your keychain, YOU (who knows your login password = your keychain password) can retrieve passwords stored there.
    Open the keychain Utility, select passwords as the things to examine, and scroll through the list until you see the one you want. GetInfo in it, and it will put up a dialog box. Check "show password" and it will likely demand your login password again, then show you the stored password.
    Keychain is very secure. If you forget your login password, or change your login password and fail to also update your keychain password to match, your keychain and everything on it will be dead to you (and everyone else).

  • How to view/modify saved passwords

    It seems impossible to view or change individual saved passwords. The only way seems to delete all of them.
    Is there another way?

    Hello @Fffred,
    The only way you can modify or view passwords on android firefox is through a plugin.
    ''"There's no option for viewing saved passwords on your mobile you have to use add-ons like https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/mobile-password-manager/ if you wish to save your password and view it in the future."''

  • How to view my WEP Key ?

    I need to connect to my Airport Extreme Wireless Network from a WIndow XP configured Macbook.
    WIndows requires the Hexadecimal WEP key to connect.
    How do i get this?
    To be sure, i have read many similar questions on this forum and tried :
    - The network preference panel. The "show password" tick option remains grayed out.
    - The Airport utility. The "equivalent network password" on the Base Station meny remains grayed out.
    - The Keychain access utility. I can only find the alphabetic passord, not the hexadecimal WEP key (of course tried to enter the alphabetic one, but did not work, so i assume it is expecting the hexadecimal one....).
    - In one of the posts, the contributor is bemoaning about an upgrade on snow leopard that makes getting to view the WEP key absurdly complicated. He provides a link :
    http://www.adamriggins.com/2009/11/16/how-to-view-saved-wifi-passwords-in-osx-sn ow-leopard/
    ... which unfortunately is not working anymore...
    I do clearly remember easily retrieving the WEP key 2 or 3 years ago, maybe from OS leopard at the time. I don't quite understand why it's been made so difficult now. Was there a security issue ? then is there an Apple note summarizing those facts and recommanding steps for previously set networks ?
    Anyone who can help on this is very welcome.
    Thanks in advance
    YM

    well first of all why are you using wep? don't you realize that all wep networks can be cracked in 15 minutes?
    older versions of windows xp do not know WPA/WPA2 if you are running the latest service pack then it should support WPA or WPA2
    if for the life of you cannot determine the WEP password no matter how hard you try. i found mine by going into keychain and clicked on show password and there was my wifi password
    then you might as well just download the latest version of airport utility, write down all the important settings, and then use the reset button to erase everything and then reconfigure it from scratch. and then you will know your password.
    while you are there, if you can turn on wpa, by all means turn it on

  • How do I remove stored passwords IF any from FF Sync

    Hi
    I have opened a new account and synched once
    After sync I realise that the tools -> Options - synch *has* "passwords" ticked ..so I assume that my stored passwords IF any have been synched
    How do I remove the passwords from sync ?
    I am ok with other data being synched like browsing history etc .... but what about password ?
    TIA
    Regards
    subu

    hello, if you remove the check-box next to passwords, they will also be removed from the server (you can check under manage account > view quota).
    another way to clear all your current sync data is by logging-in to [https://account.services.mozilla.com/sync/purge https://account.services.mozilla.com]

    Is this an iLife installation disk or system install disk?  In either case download the demo version of   Pacifist and open the install package on the disk.  Locate iPhoto and use Pacifist to install iPhoto.  Then you'll need to apply the latest updater from the Apple Downloads webpage:
    Apple - Support - Downloads.  Just search for the iPhoto version you installed to get the updaters for that version.

  • How to view wifi password on osx 10.8.2

    how to view wifi password on osx 10.8.2

    The following assumes you have been able to join the network previously and the password has not been changed since the last time you were able to.
    Go to the Keychain Access application (found in /Applications/Utilities) and open it.
    In the Keychains column on the left select either login or your user's short name.
    Underneath that under Category select Passwords.
    Double click on the name of your network.
    Under the Attributes tab check the Show password checkbox.
    Enter your computer's login password to authenticate and click Allow.
    The password will appear next to Show password.
    If you have never logged into the network, you'll need to find out how to login from the wifi router's documentation.
    Best of luck.

    Connect the iOS device to your computer and restore via iTunes. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

  • How secure is Firefox Sync on Android

    First, let me summarize how I understand the current security concept of Firefox4Linux, as some of the documents I read may be old:
    L1) During sync setup Firefox4Linux creates recovery key, encrypt all passwords, bookmarks, ... using this recovery key and upload them to the server[1].
    L2) Passwords are encrypted only by using the recovery key, (not by master password)[2].
    L3) When pairing J-PAKE (Password Authenticated Key Exchange by Juggling) is used to securely transfer the recovery key[3].
    L4) On Firefox4Linux master password is used to encrypt the Recovery Key. Based on my own observation as it is not possible to view Recovery Key without entering the master password at least once.
    This all seems to me reasonably secure and there should be no leakage of recovery key without compromising Master password. Now regarding my findings for Firefox4Android:
    A1) Firefox4Android stops syncing passwords when master password is used[4].
    A2) Based on my observations Firefox4Android continue to sync bookmarks, tabs, ... even when it is still asking for master password and I am not providing it.
    A3) Based on A1 and A2 it looks like that, recovery key is not encrypted using master password.
    A4) Based on A3 anybody who gets physical access to the Android device, can get recovery key, setup synchronization on PC and obtain all the passwords!
    Please let me know, if I missed something. As it looks to me, using synchronization on Firefox4Android is not secure even if you use Master Password.
    Currently I see possible workaround for this issue:
    1) Disable master password on Firefox4Android
    2) Setup synchronization
    3) Let passwords, bookmarks, synchronize
    4) Disable synchronization (deleting synchronization account should delete recovery key)
    5) Enable master password
    Only security issue with this workaround may be, that recovery key may be readable from the NAND flash for a while, because of the wear-leveling techniques. Possible workaround for this, would be generating new recovery key, after performing each synchronization with Android.
