Windows 10: viewing stored passwords

Once in the credential manager, I try to view passwords. After clicking "SHOW" a window opens, I enter my Microsoft account password. I get an error message telling me the user name or password is incorrect. I also tried other choices where I entered MY Microsoft account ID and password. Still the same error message. I used the copy and paste method to enter a password.

Hi Joseph

Your password is not stored in a human readable format, it is stored as a hash, so it is not possible to view your current password . . .

If you have forgotten your Microsoft Account / Windows 10 password, you can reset that using the steps on this page:
