Hello.

I signed onto my email's on someone else's log-on at school. and i noticed it saved my password. Since then he has turned on me and i am worried that he might realise and log onto my emails. so i changed the password.
but i use that password for a lot of things. and i cant change it all.
so, when he sees my old password like this ******** and he copy's it out of the password slot (this is google mail, so hopefully its secure) and then pastes it into something else im signed up on, will it let him log on?

i tried copying it from the password bit on gmail into a word doc and it just stayed as the stars (*********). so im hoping that he can't get onto any of my stuff.

Please type back as i worried about this!

If you on it at the time it will say you have signed on at anoter location, he might be able to seeing as you did leave it up.

You can't copy the asterisks and paste them into another password form. The asterisks will be entered, rather than what they conceal.

Exactly what I was about to say.

There are ways to uncensor the password, and retrieve them, but you probably don't have anything to worry about.
