Hello all - my problem is I changed my yahoo password, because it was hacked, entered it into SM 2.11.
I did not write it down and now cannot get into the web site using the pw I thought it was. I Am able to get mail vis-a-vis SM. Is the password stored somewhere that I can retrieve it easily or do I have to change it and write it down this time?

If you have/use a SM Master Password you can go into the SM Password Manager, choose "Show Passwords", and you will be prompted to enter your Master Password - SM will then let you see the Passwords it has stored.
WARNING - if you don't have a Master and enter one just to try this SM will wipe out *all* of your Stored Passwords as it resets!
I'm not sure what the SM Password Manager does if you don't use a Master...I've never used SM without one. And this situation is *why* I use one. But the same may actually even if you don't have a Master Password set - which is a bit dangerous, security-wise.

If you have not set a Master Password for SM then use the Password Manager to reveal all your passwords. The Password Manager works the same for both preferences, (master password set, or never set). The warning above should be noted, If you set a Master Password SM will wipe out all previous passwords.

Thank you everyone for responding. So if I understand correctly, the passwords under Edit-Preferences-Privacy-Passwords holds the passwords for SM email accounts which are part of the suite??
I know that passwords for web based access to web sites are there, but did not know that it contained the passwords for SM mail/newsgroups.

Or go to: Tools->Password Manager->Manage Stored Passwords. That will show *all* passwords that you've stored.

Yes - it contains *all* of what you've told/allowed SM to save. You can recognize what is which by the associated domain name or URL.

Rufus and all,
I have gone to Edit -> Privacy & Security -> Passwords and found the PW's, where they always have been. Yet when I use the passwords stored there to try and access my yahoo webmail, none of them work. There are three (3) showing.
Yet, SM mail box can access and retrieve mail for that box. I constantly lock myself out of the mailbox trying to guess the pw.
Any other ideas or suggestions as to where I can find the PW's for SM mail suite stored?

It sounds like you managed to change your password via webmail and then somehow SM didn't save the new one after you went back. or vise versa...
Look and make sure the URL for your webmail and the associated one in SM Password Manager are the same - you may be trying to access two different site URLs, each with a unique association...I've seen that happen before with logins, but not very often.

Can you go to Yahoo and use the following to get the password they have on
file for you?
