screwy password problem
Hello. When opening OE6 (dial up) the password in the dial up connection box
is some sixteen characters long, more than double my real password. This occurs no matter how often I correct it be it in the connections box or dial up settings box. It may be trivial compared to some of the other problems on this board but it's getting real annoying. Thanks.

Try just using it as is. -- Frank Saunders, MS-MVP OE/WM http://www.fjsmjs.com Please reply in newsgroup. Do NOT send email.

That's by design; it hides the length of the password that way to passers-by, making it harder to guess. Far as I know there's nothing the user can do about it. Pop
