Is it possible to "show" our password during or after we type it in?

    I do not believe that there is a facility to show a password as you type as there is on some websites. A work around would be to type your password in a word processor or similar and then copy and paste it into FamilySearch. That way you would know what you have typed.

    Regarding we received your question about showing your password.

    FamilySearch is very careful in protecting the privacy of individuals. Matter if fact : Recovering a forgotten username or resetting a forgotten password to sign into FamilySearch.org  FamilySearch does not keep a record of patron’s passwords due to privacy security. (Passwords must be at least 8 characters with at least one letter and one number.) .

    Certain browsers will remember you user name and password.

    We wish you much success using this wonderful website.

    if you really want to see your password that you have typed

    first type it into a text editor / word processor

    and make sure it is typed in correctly

    then you can select copy and paste to the password field of FS - - using CTRL-C (copy) and CTRL-V (paste)

    just make sure that you dont inadvertantly copy and paste any preceding or trailing blank space

    the most common issue with passwords when you feel you are sure that you typed it in correctly - is that your CAPS LOCK may be on and needs turning off
