I never rely on browsers as the master repository of my passwords. Too many times I've had to do re-installs from scratch, because something's become corrupted, and all the passwords are lost. I know it's no help right now, but password retrieval is a snap in Firefox, as long as you haven't forgotten your master password. Edited January 27, 2007 by Prime Suspect Link to comment
+Michael Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Go to this page and enter the email address you use on geocaching.com. The system will send you your password. NOTE: you MUST use the email address that is on file for you. If you do not you will not get your password. you can also access this page from the link on the log in page on GC.com. Link to comment

+trainlove Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 This is one reason to always use an email account you have control over, such as a free web email account from a big company like Yahoo or Google. If you are unlucky enough to use your company's email <b>and</b> no longer work for them <b>and</b> forget your password you are SUNK. Link to comment
+Prime Suspect Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 This is one reason to always use an email account you have control over, such as a free web email account from a big company like Yahoo or Google. My first Gmail account is completely inaccessible, due to a file corruption that Google could not repair. All that mail (and any mail subsequently sent to it) is now lost. Don't rely on anything other than local backups. Link to comment
