on the security tab in my account profile it show the user name and password. however the password is not shown, it has a bunch of dots. I need to know what the password is how can I have it shown by removing the dots. don't want to change password and lose all my other logins.

You can only possibly reveal a password that you have just typed (i.e. when you fill a form), you can't reveal a password you typed in the past and that you do not remember.

I'm asking about the firebox pw found in the manage profile tab under security. There should be a way to revel it there is no eye button. It was set in 2016 but it is forgotten and needed to sign into a new computer.
