Is there any way to show the server password

When I installed 7, I created a moderately secure password by replacing some letters with numbers and mixing case. I then used then logged into my Iphone, Ipad, home and work computers and ordered them to remember the password so I wouldn't have to type it in... But then, when I got a cheap droid pad last week and tried to see how that was going to work as a dedicated control page server, I discovered that the substitution/mixed case password I THOUGHT I would remember wasn't the one I DID remember... :oops: If I have to, I can put in a new password and update all my devices, but it would be a whole lot simpler if there is some way to temporarily show the actual characters in the existing one...

Some apps have a 'Show Password' tick box which sometimes comes in handy.

Indigo feature request? :)

Copied from cnet.com

Should you need the password to sign in to an account from a device not connected to your iCloud account, it can be frustrating, as the method to retrieve your password isn't obvious.

Getting your password is easy, however, once you know where to look. On your iDevice, launch the Settings app go to Safari > Passwords & Autofill > Saved Passwords.

There you'll find a list of all the log-in credentials and passwords you have saved to your iCloud Keychain. Tapping on an entry will show you the user name and password (after entering your device password) for the respective account. You can copy any of the information listed with a long press on the text field.

We store it on the keychain. Open Keychain Access, select Passwords, enter IndigoServer in the search box, then double-click the IndigoServer entry and click the Show Password checkbox (you'll be prompted to enter your Admin password).
