    Hi,

    Is there any way to review the password of the login object? I want to know its password and no one knows in my organization.

    The most safe way (for PROD env) would be setting a new password in your target application (or OS) and updating the new password in your login object.

    And writing it on a PostIt and sticking it under your keyboard.... :-)

    Only if it's encrypted. I suggest ROT26. Twice as secure as ROT13  :p

    should be enough encryption writing it with lipstick on a napkin.

    Yeah FrankMuffke, you think I'm just joking, but prepare to hear my infallible reasoning (that I only just discovered in "Citaton Needed Monthly Magazine"):

    The Vietnamese alphabet has 29 letters, so ROT26 is actual encryption (albeit with a truly awful amount of hash collisions)

    ;)

    Hmmm - could possibly be improved...

    You know the password of the air shield (Spaceballs)?

    I would suggest using the japanese alphabet :-)
