Hi There,
I have been running two gmail accounts on my HD2 for around 4 months now, and for some reason one of them isn't working. I have the passwords saved for each, and I need to retrieve the password from one but whenever I go to the settings the saved password is all in asterisks.
Obviously this is for security, and i'm assuming there is no way to reveal the password on the phone (or is there?). I was wondering if it is smart enough to recognise that it is connected to my homebase computer, and if that will allow me to access the saved passwords?
I've been looking for things like keychains etc, but I can't find anything.
Your help is very much appreciated,

just rest the password through the emai account if it is youre account !!
Hi again,
Demon Man, while i'm greatful for your help, it doesn't answer my question. I should have mentioned that I am trying to avoid resetting my password. I think the issue is with my phone, not with my email account.
Is it at all possible to reveal the password or find the password stored in my phone through my PC?

No. If you know the password, you can just retype it in and resave it. If you are fishing for a way to break into someone else's email through their phone, you won't get any help here.

Hey folks, i was wondering if anyone knew where the registry fiiles for email are in the Titan? I am trying to export them so i can either build a cab from them or find another way to store them so i wont have to keep entering them when i have to reflash my phone.....any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks
this isnt an exact answer to what you asked, but why not open a gmail account or some such and sync your google calendar/contacts (think yahoo can too) to your phone. that way you'll never lose anything if your device goes south.

Thats the thing, i am using gmail for my mail. Its just that between school, personal and different organizations i am in, i have four or more emails that i routinely check. And since i find myself flashing or restarting my ppc over from scratch, i was trying to find an easier way then to keep always having to enter them manually. I have seen where if u could export the registry or write an xml file than it could be made a cab or use such a tool to reentering those settings would be a breeze....any ideas?
As the title says I am currently unable to setup and sign into my gmail account. I just flashed the mr2 radio and GINGERTH3ORY V4.2X Tweaked/God Complex rom and when i try to set up my gmail account i keep getting the "your username and password do not match. please try again." Idk if this makes a different but i do have my gmail set up to do the google authenticate thing were everytime i use one of googles services for the first time i have to input a certain code.
This is unfortunately one of the reasons I stopped using google authentication. If your near a computer you can go into your account setting and click on the two step verification link and it should take you to a page where you can create a password for an application. Once you have the password from the site go back to your phone and put the password in as your google account password.
The only downside is every time you change roms and you have to put your password in for your account you have to get a new password from the site. I decided to just make a much stronger password for my google account and stop using two step verification.
I hope this helps!
This fixed it! thank you so much, and here i kept thinking i did something wrong. and just raped my battery life flashing different roms trying to fix the problem. I was starting to get really frustrated
No problem, I went through the same thing but I was away from a computer so I had to get on my wife's iPhone just to get me a login password.

Lol, you guys didn't figure out how 2step verification works before signing up?
Yes, you need to use two-step verification to log in via a web browser (or the browser on the phone...lolz), and then create a unique password for each individual app that wants access to your goog account.
I used it for a while, but decided it was too much of a PITA. There's other options for strong passwords, like a coded wallet card thing that I saw a while back...
Yeah this: http://www.passwordcard.org/en
O yea its a PITA at times. I'm sure it would work fine if you keep your phone stock and never have to wipe data but when flashing roms and radios that require a full wipe it sucks having to go back in a get the password just to log in to your google account again.
Hi. I had to change my evernote password (yes, it's my fault, I forgot what it was). But now my notes app obviously won't sync. The problem is I see nowhere to change the password. I'm guessing it's staring me in the face but I just don't see it. I see where I can remove the account and I suppose that then I could add it again with the new password but I'm afraid that if I do that then I'll lose my notes, especially those that didn't sync properly.
I'd greatly appreciate any help...
Or suggestions to save the notes so they're not deleted?
Got my phone stolen..
Google doesn't give any help on removing google account.
Is there a way to remotely remove the google account from the stolen phone?
Says it's used market using my account so kinda in a hurry..
any methods will be fine.. no longer in my possession so ANYTHING!
please help..
What about changing your google password?
If you change your password, as mentioned, the account will no longer work on the phone without the new password. All of the data that has already synced will still be visible to whoever has your phone, but they will no longer be able to use your account.
Unfortunately there's probably not much else you can do. You can log into the Market on your computer and install some kind of phone tracking software, but it will have to be able to remotely enable GPS. You'll probably have to install the software before changing the password.

thanks for the advise..
as expected, google said change password as well, which I did, and they still somehow managed to access the account just yesterday.. lol..
just guess i'll have to delete it or something..
It might be worth giving this a try if you know the phone's still in use and you want to track it down!

I have an email account (gmail) that I have since forgotten the password too. I set it up and immediately put the credentials in K9, then never accessed the account from a browser again. Well recently I've needed to get in to it but I can't. I have tried recovering the email through google's forgotten password thing, but it doesn't work (it was set up with very generic, and scarce information). I know the password is stored in K9 and still working, so I was direly hoping I can get the password from this.
Please, any and all ideas are greatly welcomed. I appreciate any and all help as well. Thanks.
