Where are passwords saved on my comp?

Where exactly are passwords, user names, and other info the Autofil text uses saved on my computer? How do I access them? What can I do to see them and print them out? I would like to Reset Safari in order to remove cookies but I'm told it will also remove/erase all passowords and such. I would like to save or print a copy of all those passwords for I may have forgotten many and don't have them written elsewhere. How do I go about this? Feel free to email me at [email protected] Many thanx.

Safari passwords are stored in an encrypted file
somewhere in your ~Library folder -- don't know where
off-hand -- and the password for the file is stored
in your login keychain. However, you can dump your
cookies without resetting all of Safari; just go to
Safari > Preferences > Security > Show cookies, then
you can delete any or all of them.
Hi Karl,
I have an additional question to this case, to help (hopefully)
So, If I reset Safari... Will it wipe out my Keychain Access? After all that's where the passwords are all stored isn't it?
Or maybe, you could create an archive .Zip file of your Keychain Access, just to make sure and then reset Safari?
regards,
L+

Where are passwords saved?

I previously clicked "remember my password", but now I need
the password dialog to come up. Where is the password saved? If I
can find it and delete it, hopefully the dialog will reappear
asking me to log in.

Windows? Try looking in the registry settings: Software >
Macromedia > Contribute 3 > Keychain

Where are passwords stored on my hard drive, can I access them, alter them

Where are passwords stored on my hard drive/ folder, can I access them and alter them. Can I add passwords to that file/ folder.

Using the Saved Password Editor may be overkill for most users. The quickest way to manipulate saved passwords in Firefox is on the menu bar go to:
Tools -> Options -> Security -> Saved Passwords -> Show Passwords

Where are contacts saved?

Hi there,
This started off as a loss of all contacts from the address book, which has now turned into a curiosity of where exactly do the contacts get saved?
I have removed the folder ~/Library/Applications Support/Address Book/
I have actually deleted this folder, logged out, logged back in again and found the address book restored with all contacts. From doing searches on the net everything points to this folder being the place where contacts are saved but obviously it is not. I have no sync service operating nor changed any defaults as this has all been done with a clean account.
So, where are contacts saved to?

It is probably being restored from the copy kept in SyncServices (in your Library/Application Support folder). Look in Local folder, and in the various folders there look at ClientName.txt. You will likely find that one of them is com.apple.AddressBook. Beyond that, I do not know the organisation of the various files within the Local folder, except that there is enough data there to restore a missing set of contacts.

PDF Optimizer Settings: Where Are They Saved?

PDF Optimizer Settings: Where Are They Saved?
That is, the ones that you create and then Save.
Also the default one which came along Acrobat Pro (i.e. Standard etc)
Thanks

They are stored in the Acrobat User Preferences Area. The same location is used for Pro, Standard, and Reader. But the exact location is OS dependant.
Open up the JavaScript Console window and run this line of code. (instructions at the links below)
app.getPath("user","preferences");

Where are renditions saved?

Hi!
Where are renditions saved?
Do we create completely new folios (and all the articles in each folio) or are the different renditions of a folio and all the articles in them saved in the save folder?
Thanks!
CJ

But only for the DPS Professional or Enterprise level customers, according to Andrew.
Is that correct?
If this is the case, then, the rest of us will have to know ahead of time what device a client is using and share (via the Folio Producer: Organizer or via the Folio Panel in InDesign) the specific "rendition" with the client.
Even, if a client wants to access the same folio on various devices, they will need, then, to make sure and download the right rendition invitation on the right device.
This is complicated. Hope it doesn't last too long…
Thanks!

pamalushka54,
We want to make sure that we get your phone up and running. Can you look to see where you have the most stuff stored at. Settings>General>Usage>Storage.
This will tell you what exactly is using everything. Then you can delete things from there.

Where are the saved passwords stored on my computer so I can back up the files with Carbonite?

I want to make sure that the folder and files where the passwords I've saved in Firefox are stored on my computer are being backed up by Carbonite. Please tell me where I can find the folder/files on my C: drive.

You need two files, key3.db and signons.sqlite, to backup the names and passwords.

Where are settings saved for WCF Service Applications?

Default Settings for a WCF Service Application are stored in the web.config file and are Read Only because only Application settings are allowed i.e. you cannot change the Scope from "Application" to "User" in the settings designer like
with other components. So, in order to save changes to settings the WCF Service Application will need to create a setting property at runtime like this:
System.Configuration.SettingsProperty newProperty;
newProperty = new System.Configuration.SettingsProperty("NewSetting");
newProperty.IsReadOnly = false;
newProperty.DefaultValue = "New Setting";
Properties.Settings.Default.Properties.Add(newProperty);
Properties.Settings.Default.Save();
OK...this works, but I've looked everywhere and I can't find where the new setting property is being saved. I have already looked in the C:\Users\[username]\AppData\[Local or Roaming]\[Company Name]\[AppName...etc.]\[version]\user.config and although
a user.config file was created it does not contain the new property. Anyone have a clue?
Actually, this doesn't work...the settings are not saved to the file system. I located some other posts and modified my code as follows, but the settings are still not saved to the file system.
System.Configuration.SettingsProperty newProperty;
newProperty = new System.Configuration.SettingsProperty("NewSetting");
newProperty.Provider = Properties.Settings.Default.Providers["LocalFileSettingsProvider"];
newProperty.Attributes.Add(typeof(System.Configuration.UserScopedSettingAttribute), new System.Configuration.UserScopedSettingAttribute());
newProperty.PropertyType = typeof(string);
newProperty.IsReadOnly = false;
newProperty.DefaultValue = "New Setting";
try
Properties.Settings.Default.Properties.Add(newProperty);
catch
//Just ignore it for now.
Properties.Settings.Default.Save();
The new setting appears to be saved only in memory. If I close Visual Studio then the setting is lost. Also, I deleted the C:\Users\[username]\AppData\[Local or Roaming]\[Company Name]\[AppName...etc.]\[version]\user.config files and the file
is no longer being created.
Looks like I will need to explicitly load/save a text file or use the registry to persist changes to settings.

Hello Steven,
>>The new setting appears to be saved only in memory.
It seems that the Save() method only saves these runtime added in memory, I suggest you could check the Save method source code since now the .NET is source opened:http://referencesource.microsoft.com/#System/sys/system/configuration/ApplicationSettingsBase.cs,9664b0111a35af52
>>Looks like I will need to explicitly load/save a text file or use the registry to persist changes to settings.
Someone provides an implementation about this approach, you could check it:

Or you could set it in a register entry:

Where are memos saved?

Question: Where are the notes made on the yellow "memo pad" saved to? In iTunes, I can locate backup on music, contacts, bookmarks, etc.—but see no sync/backup for the memo notes.
Anyone know?
Thanks!

It DOES seem odd that notes created on the iPhone can't be synced or edited. There are several other options for transferring notes entered on the iPhone to other places:
iGoogle lets you create notes on the iPhone that will appear in iGoogle on the desktop. Once created they can be edited on the desktop but not edited again on the iPhone.
Noter (www.dbelement.com) has a paid note taking app. Unlike iGoogle you can edit the note on the iPhone once it is created and sync it. It has very limited formatting and notes are restricted in size.
The most promising one is Evernote (www.evernote.com). They are the premier note taking application for computers today, with a rave review from Walt Mossberg in the Wall Street Journal a couple of years ago. I've been using it for several years. The current version only runs on a computer, but I am currently using a closed beta of Version 3, which allows notes to be accessed via the web as well as on the desktop (or notebook or tablet). They also have "fat" clients for Windows Mobile and other mobile operating systems, and promise an iPhone version in the near future. At the current time you can create notes on the iPhone and sync to your desktop via the web, view notes created on the desktop or in a browser on another computer. You cannot edit existing notes on the iPhone at this time. You CAN edit on the desktop or using a desktop browser window, so hopefully the iPhone version isn't far off. It supports full rich text formatting, tagging, searching, etc. It can import web clippings, graphics, works with tablets for ink notes, and most amazingly, can usually interpret the text within a graphic or ink note for searches.

Where are passwords stored for Safari websites

I thought the place was the Keychain, but where else is are passwords stored?
I have jsut done a complete reset of the keychain from keychain Access, and the passwords page shows empty
Yet when I go to certain websites, I still get logged in automatically.
So where are these other passwords stored?

HI,
The usernames and passwords are stored in the Keychain Access application but only if you have the Safari Preferences set up to do so.
With Safari open, from the Menu Bar, click Safari / Preferences and select the AutoFill tab.
Make sure Usernames and Passwords is selected.
From the Finder Help Viewer...
When you set up a user account in Mac OS X using the Accounts preferences pane, a keychain with the same password is automatically created the first time you log in to the computer. This keychain is the default keychain. When you create passwords for servers or applications, the passwords are added to this keychain.
You may want to create an additional keychain for personal use that isn’t automatically unlocked when you log in to your user account. For example, you can create a “top secret” keychain to store notes, financial information, and any other items you want to store securely.
To create a keychain:
Open Keychain Access, located in the Utilites folder in the Applications folder.
Open Keychain Access
Choose File > New Keychain.
Type a name for the keychain, and then click Create.
Type a password for the keychain, and then type it again in the Verify field.
For help choosing a good password, click the key button to the right of the Password field.

Where are contacts saved on iPhone 4?

On my previous phone (Nokia 5800 XM) I could choose between phone mamory and SIM card to save contacts; in iPhone, that option doesn't seem to exist.
So my question is, where are new contacts saved (iPhone's memory or SIM card)?
Thank you.
Note: If there's a way to choose between phone memory and SIM card, please let me know.

iPhones memory.
