Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsHello, my DU friends:
Today I am moving into my new retirement home. I hope I get this password right because I am a star member and I am not sure of my password (I don't have it listed anywhere). It's been a long time since I acquired it so I used what I use to get online.
I'll see you all later today or early AM tomorrow altho I may have to sign in as an unknown new member if I can't find my password.
Hope to see you soon!

I clicked the " . . . " icon at the top right, and then on the menu that pops up I clicked on "passwords", and sure enough, I had one password there which I IMMEDIATELY DELETED.
I don't want anyone with access to my computer (either in-person or remotely) to be able to view all my passwords. S C A R Y.
I know that this f'ing brower offers to save passwords (or it used to) and I never did and I turned that feature off long ago because it seems like the most insanely insecure thing I could possibly do, short of tatooing my social security number and date of birth on myself and running around naked.
On my Chrome browser, the menu icon is 3 dots vertically, I click on that and find a "Passwords and Autofill" item. I don't see any passwords, I just see a "Norton Safe Search" item (Norton is my anti-virus and security software) and it says "peace of mind with every search" so doesn't look like anything with passwords, whew.
Crap, I get up hoping to make some forward progress on things I need to get done, only to find yet another f'ing thing that needs to be taken care of immediately.

Another option: get it via your email when you reconnect in your new home.
