Password retrieval

I use an Amazon fire tablet with the silk browser. I also have a tower PC which I need to set up yet.
The problem is there appears to be no way to display the passwords the browser has stored so unless someone knows an app I can download to retrieve my stored passwords I'm going to have to go to each and every site, get a temporary password and then log in again and change them this time keeping a hard copy. Any suggestions please.

In Firefox browser there is a security section in the options menu. Within that section there is a `Remember Logins` feature that when ticked gives your browser the option of saving and remembering the passwords you use to access websites. There is also a `Saved Logins` button which displays all of the websites that you've asked the browser to save and within that list there is a display password feature.

Is there a similar section on your Kindle?

Hi Judd.
No there's nothing like that at all. If I go onto a new site and have to create a password it immediately asks if i want it remembered and that's all, no file to see. I just wondered if anyone knew of a program/app I could install that could find them.
Wait, I've just thought, what if I ask the Russian hackers that work for Mr Putin. 😀

Why not use the Forgotten password" option? They will email you a new one which you can then change to something more memorable

Hi Mondays child,
This is unfortunate, but can turn into something very useful.
The thing is here that you are using a browser which doesn't exist anywhere outside of Kindle, so getting those passwords out can be very tricky.
Thankfully you can install a third party app which can do that work for you.
There's a whole article about it here: https://www.techwalla.com/articles/h...ds-on-a-kindle

Now I don't know if you already use a password manager, but if not, this can open a whole new world for you. Personally I use Dashlane (but it doesn't support Kindle) and I am absolutely loving it. I only have to remember 1 password and the app even fills in the passwords on the browser while I use my devices. It really saves a lot of time.
