Device password recovery?

In Winbox, there’s a little checkbox in the corner for “hide passwords.” If you uncheck it, password fields in windows appear in plain text.

Is there any such feature in the Dude? For example, to make the Dude show me the login or SNMP passwords for a device?

Now That would not be safe

Seriously, it’s no more insecure than the checkbox already present in Winbox.

These things are a convenience to keep outsiders from looking over your shoulder, or to keep passwords from showing up in screen shots and videos – not to keep passwords secret from the very administrators who originally set them.

Run Notepad, next run Dude.
On device list or network map select interesting device, then click ‘Copy’ button on Dude toolbar.
Switch to Notepad and paste (Ctrl+V).
You should see whole device configuration including password as XML file. That’s all :slight_smile: .

HTH,

That’s a great tip, thank you! I’m currently tracking done some SNMP failures to connect, and this will help greatly.

Dude,
I have been looking for this for YEARS - you made is so simple - BRAVO - KUDOS - I shall KEEP SINGING YOUR PRAISES!!!
THANK YOU!!!
