I paid a visit to my grandparents last Saturday. When I reached the grandparent’s home, my grandfather was setting up an email account on the Samsung Internet browser. He asked me to help him out to note down the email address and passwords in a notebook. I have decided to help them by suggesting taking advantage of the Samsung Internet password storing facility to remember passwords.

Not happy with the whole “Can’t view passwords” thing!!
It used to have them available, every other browser I ever used also has.
Alas, now I cannot find my own password. I am the only one who can’t read it!
I must “reset” my password make a new one just to log into an account on my laptop.
After that, my phone will ‘remember’ a dead password which won’t work anymore, and I also must change it.
This is just bizarre.

I need to see my password because I forgot it. I can’t change my password at this site unless I have logged in! I can’t login, because I forgot the password that is right behind those dots. How incredibly frustrating!
