I desperately need to extract an account's logon password, is there any way to do this?

Thanks!

This obviously doesn't answer your question (directly) - I'll leave that to Jeff.

But (just a reminder) you can of course always "reset" your password via the email service assuming your goal is simply to gain access to your email account.

There are 3rd party utilities that can show these passwords. For various reasons, that's all I'm going to say; you'll have to find them on your own.

Disclaimer: I mention such utilities not because acknowledging the existence of them is a security risk, but because not knowing about them is a security risk. If you're in a position where this is a concern, then you should enable either admin or account password protection within POP Peeper. It's also why certain circles consider Oauth2 a more secure authentication method.
