I have noticed that the passwords in my settings are ****, I often forget them and go into settings to see what they were, now I can not see them, can this be changed back to viewable.
thanks

I'm not associated with SmugMug so I can't speak to the exact reason why, but I personally am glad they are protecting any and all passwords by not showing the letters/numbers. Anything that travels across the internet is essentially being transferred from one computer to another to another until the sent item reaches the final destination computer and that includes emails, images, text, passwords, etc.. Any item not protected by encryption or by ***** is readable on those "transmission station" computers. Most people use a single common-to-them password because a single password is easy to remember as compared to different ones for each site. Any unprotected password shown in letters/numbers on a screen would be a gold mine to unscrupulous people. I prefer the inconvenience.
Of course, to actually send them to my client, I usually just send them clear on email.
I'm not sure there's much demand from nefarious types for being able to access private galleries on a website. Sitewide passwords perhaps.
will be hidden after unveiling. They should switch to their legacy site and copy/save them.
This is a huge problem for those with lots of client galleries and lots of PW's.
