Re: password migration

Steven,

Generally, passwords are not migrated. This is a security "feature". If someone were to get hold of the FAST backup, they'd have your information.

You could also try the built in File and Settings Transfer Wizard. I don't
save passwords myself but I believe it should also migrate them. The link
below explains more on how to use it and you can save to a DVD/CDROM if you
do not have a network setup between computers to do the transfer. --- Steve

Where can I find the files that contain the passwords that allow access to
websites without retyping each time?? We are migrating to a new computer
and
I have 4 years worth of "passwords" and do not have all of them and do not
wish to re-enter, if possible. Thank you for any comments.
