The admin passwords use a special-case encryption (the one with no seed) in order to prevent hackers from downloading your passwords and decrypting them. Even we cannot decrypt them.If you really must be able to see the clear-text passwords, I suppose you could modify the admin templates so they use a seed value that only you know. Just realize that if someone learns your seed, they can use WebCatalog to decrypt your encrypted text.Grant Hulbert, V.P.
