Hi,

I am managing more and more FrontPage websites. Where is the file that
lists all the User Names and Passwords that are entered into the
Connect to [website.com] login box?

Thanks,

Peter

It's not really a "file" in the file sense of the word.

What exactly are you trying to do??

it is an encrypted and unreadable pwl (password list ) file buried deep in
Windows. If it was readable, that would defeat the whole purpose of having
passwords wouldn't it?

I assume you mean the method of how it retains and "remembers" the password for
certain usernames - that is done via cookies or something internal to frontpage
and/or internet explorer. Your actual logon details are stored on the server
which of course checks the authentication of the details inputed.

If you manage several sites, then you should have a separate account/server space
to upload each site, which in turn requires separate user log on details.

So you open the web, make changes to the pages then publish the site - it prompts
for logon, you enter the details for that site, and make sure you click
"Save/Remember password" (or whatever) and next time you use that logon, the
details will already be there.

Repeat this for all the sites you maintain. otherwise keep a copy of the logon's
on paper somewhere safe.

Passwords used by FP are "stored" using IE
In IE use Tools > Internet Options > Security
Click on 'Trusted' and on 'Custom Level'
Make sure the selection at the bottom is set to:
'Automatic logon with current username and password' and click OK
Click on 'Sites' and add your site URL in the 'Add this Web Site to the Zone', and OK, OK
- note: you may have to unselect the option: Require server verification (https)... to add your site

There are utilities to let you see your stored protected passwords like http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/pspv.html
