I forgot my Facebook password and I wanted to get it back from my keychain, but when I click on show password and type in my keychain password I get bunch of random letters and numbers. Why is that? Is there something else I have to do to get the actual password? Thanks
 
That would be the password hash. However, my keychain stores my actual password (in text format).

Click to expand...

Why not just reset it via FBs website? ;)
 
Yea, I could just reset it, probably will. I'm just curious now, I thought keychain shows the actual password. I tend to forget my passwords a lot :p so I was really happy that I could find them there instead of restrict them every time, but I guess no?:confused:
