Once you have set up an account, is there a way to check to see exactly what password you are using? I ask because I think I wrote something wrong and I need to fix it. Thanks.
When you did the first account setup, did your web browser ask if you wanted the password saved in its password file ? If it did, and you clicked yes, then check your browser preferences for a location where it shows you these passwords saved.
In FireFox for Macs, go to Preferences> Privacy& Security>Logins and Passwords>Saved Logins. Once there, you can view & edit saved passwords as needed.
Otherwise you may need to use the account's "Reset Password" process, and create a new password.
If you changed just two and think you mixed them up - there is a 50/50 chance that you will find out which is which. Two attempts and you will know which will match.

Thank you, elnina. I did find them - and all the rest. Hazel
I had one - me; then "me" got careless by changing passwords without recording them. I have a message for these people who say "never write them down". Ha! Like going to the grocery store without a written list.
Firefox has a system that I understand but not sure about. You can use any password you want but behind the scenes, they give you another password. Not sure it is Firefox doing it or an app elsewhere doing it but my Firefox book tells about it.

They must have forgotten to say the rest of it; never write them down... in such a way that a party other than yourself can easily discern the meaning <i>and derive its association to any account/device.
Password managers can be functionally secure, but unfortunately the way that most people use them means that they end up becoming [attackable] clipboard storage.

Can you do an example? I know, for one's own memory's sake, that you have to connect the password to the particular web site name. Isn't that a dead giveaway? Thank
