SQL Server Management Studio Retrieve Password

SQL Server Management Studio Retrieve Password

avatar

Is there a way to retrieve the password of a SSMS Session? I tried using the Edit menu, Clipboard sub-menu, Password menu option. I get a "Nothing to copy to the clipboard!" message.
I noticed that if I changed the Credentials to "Embedded credential entry" that I could re-store the User Name and Password and then use the "Eye" to view the password. This only partially works because I still can't use the Clipboard option, but more importantly it requires me to know the original password. I have a few SSMS Sessions that I did not store the password in duplicate locations.


RDM 7.0.3.0 with the Add-On SQL Server Management Studio v1.1.1.0

Hi,
This add-on does not support the password retrieval. I will try to add this for the next version.

This is now implemented and it's will be available in the next minor update.
