I've forgotten my Skype password. I rarely use Skype, but had reason to
tonight and wanted to log in on my phone as well as the Mac.

Fine, go to Keychain to retrieve the password. Click the 'show
password' check box, type in the login keychain password and...hmm. The
box immediately unchecks itself and no password appears.

This is the only password for which this behaviour is occurring - all
others are fine. Obviously I could just reset my Skype account's
password but I'm curious now as to what's going on. Any ideas?


Cheers,
Ian

No, but I can confirm this is normal for Skype - my ex-boss had
exactly the same problem, but his was exacerbated by Skype being set
to an old (ISP specific) email address so that he couldn't even
respond to the password reset confirmation email...

He eventually remembered it, thankfully. There was no mechanism that
Skype would employ to let him get his password reset any other way,
even though he was on a pay-for account type.

Cheers - Jaimie
