Re: hopefully an easy question......

A password box is simply a text box which replaces the content with asterisks when outputting it. The content is still there. Therefore, if you can get the handle of the text box, you can query it for its actual content.

The asterisks are purely to stop someone looking over your shoulder. If they have access to your computer and you've ticked "Remember my password", you're screwed.
