Hi There,

we are on the latest version of enterprise with site license with SQL as the DB.
Is there a way to check the current stored password that's on SQL? Cheers

Hi,
We have an option that you can use if you are the administrator. It's the reveal password. This option is available the database settings. After that you can use Shift+Alt+Alt+Enter in a password field to view the content.

Hi,
Open the data source in RDM with a Administrator user and go in the menu File->Administration->Data Source Settings

You will find the Reveal password option.

Enable this and restart the application. After that you will be able to use the Shift+Ctrl+Alt+Enter shortcut in a password textbox.
