The need to view the password from accounts of Internet pages and mail in particular may arise due to forgetfulness, uncertainty in the input password and / or other reasons. The right action can be made relatively easy to use your favorite or embedded browser on a computer or smartphone. Today we will tell you how to see your password in Mail.ru.
Method 1: View on PC
Having a web browser at hand, in which the mail is inserted, we can see the password, even if it is forgotten. To do this, you can use a list of saved passwords, which is created in any modern browser, or extract data for logging from the default data entry string.Note: You can click the "Copy" button, even when the password is encrypted. It will still be correctly copied and when transferred to text fields will be in the same form as if you wish to display it in the settings.
So you can watch the password, if you have kept it in the browser's memory and have been safely forgotten. Keep in mind that the security policy of leading IT companies does not provide for automatic preservation of such information. Therefore, if you have not used a mentionable function, it means that the password from Mail.ru mail will not be in the list of your browser, but even in this case there is a chance to find out the cherished set of characters.
You can find out information on viewing the password through other popular browsers by clicking on one of the links below.
