I have a password revealer installed that will show what the ****
represent. My home computers use automatic password remembrance for non
critical sites. If I ever need to find out what the password is that I
have assigned to any of those sites, I can use the password revealer
when the **** comes up. Other than that, I do not have a use for it, but
it is available if needed.
