    Finding my passwords


    I have a Twitch password saved onto Edge, which I need to remember.

    I am unable to change said password through Twitch, because it will disconnect the account, which will reset my security on that account. Usually not a big deal, but I am in charge of a Twitch bot on that account, which a few people are using, and if the settings get reset, they will all be unable to use the bot.

    On Chrome, I can simply unhide the password Nice and easy! Yay Chrome! however, on Edge, it demands that I do so using Web Credentials.

    However, in order to access THAT, I need to type in my password. Again, should be easy, but the thing is, when I set up my PC I specifically didn't input a password, because it used to drive me crazy asking me to type it in every time I turned on my PC.

    I'm the only one who uses the pc, so it was annoying... so I didn't put in a password.

    NOW, the issue is that the Web Credentials program was made by someone who didn't trust someone without a password, meaning when it asks for a password, and I submit a blank password, it tells me that it's invalid, and that I need to put something in. Yep, stupid!

    So, my next step was to simply take the hit and give myself a password... however, it says that if I actually give myself a password, Windows will delete ALL of my saved passwords!

    Again... Chrome... just click "View". Microsoft... jump through a dozen hoops that take you in a never-ending circle!

    Is there a way to get Windows Web Credentials to accepted that my password is blank?

    :)

    How can I find the password for my Windows 10 laptop?

    I found a solution to my problem. What I did was:
    1. Open Network & Sharing Center on the laptop.
    2. Click "Change advanced sharing settings"
    3. Expand the "All Networks" item.
    4. Change "Password protected sharing" from On to Off.

    Now when I click my laptop name in File Explorer > Networks, it just shows my shared folder without asking for a network credentials password. This is how it used to work before.

    Hope this helps others,

    List of software to use for overclocking and testing
    Examples:
    Wattman (and how to find and use it, like an overview, including profiles)
    Unigine Valley or Heaven (use this for quick testing while changing settings in Wattman and checking for stability / artifacts) ...just suggesting this
    How to monitor cores / mem speeds and temps during testing (I've seen screen overlays, and others using GPUz)
