Has anyone figured out a way to hack the password requirement when using saved credentials on vpn settings etc? I understand the need for security...but make it a choice dammit.

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.
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 All,
So I added my Exchange account provided by 1&1 to my phone, of course it enforced the security policies on the phone as expected.
I called my provider and asked them to de-activate the pin-code requirement for my user, which they did. However the update did not automaticly propogate to my device, its still forcing a pin code.
If I remove Exchange Security Policies from the Device Administrators, how do I get it back or is the only way to remove the entire account and re-add from scratch?
(I'm worried about loosing data)
If this really is the only option, what does it do with linked contacts from FB, Google and Skype? Please tell me it won't remove all those contacts too?
Does anyone have another option for updating exchange security options without removing anything?
(PS did confirm that the provider updated the setting correctly using my old HD2 test phone running Android 2.3 - that phone isn't forced to use pin code any more.)
Thanks for assistance!

Deleting and registering exchange will not delete any other contacts, and it will automatically relink all the contacts after you set up your exchange account. Why do you worry about losing exchange data? They will all be resynced.
Also, if that doesn't work, search for "exchange" in the app forum. There is a patched apk that will bypass the forced security regardless of the admin permission.

Can anyone recommend an email client that requires you to put in your email account password each time you connect?
I want to use it specifically for my banking and nothing else/no other email accounts.
I don't really want the app to save my password, because I don't routinely password-protect my phone (too much hassle for too little benefit), and I want to know that my bank details/emails are safe if I ever lost my phone.
I'm not interested in any of the app-locker-type apps either.
It has everything, my photos, my trips, my accounts, my passwords, my google 2FA, my tabs
I am ****ed ????????????????????
Please help me, is there a way to bypass the password? it's not rooted

Are you talking about the screen lock? If so, isn't there an option for "Forgot Passcode/Pattern, etc" which allows you to prove that it is in fact you by checking your Google Account credentials and unlock?
