Version details: 2.12 Ubuntu Distribution/Version: Ubuntu/Breezy There should be a way to view the stored password, securely. Firefox does it....
Some news. A bit of code has been added to personal data manager so you can view stored passwords (CVS HEAD). But, according to Christian Persch: "this is going away anyway as soon as I can finish gnome-keyring support" [1]. and "since it's available near-plaintext (base64 encoded) on disk I don't think there's a security problem with showing them on demand". So be patient ! jean-françois Rameau [1] http://live.gnome.org/Epiphany_2fFeatureDesign_2fGnomeKeyring
