Passwords and upgrading to leopar

MichaelHo · 8 Mar 2008 at 18:03

Hi,
I'm currently wanting to upgrade to leopard from tiger, just wondering if I did the upgrade would all my saved passwords be stored or wiped away?
I ask because there are one or two passwords which I have forgotten and just rely on the auto complete to fill it in :s So it's pretty necessary.

TIA

Michael

yep, planning to do just an upgrade though, so anyone know if upgrade will retain the passwords?

thanks for the reply guys, it's been very helpful.
I'll double check what my passwords and then backup the password file then upgrade.

A clean install does sound good, but how will I be able to restore my stored passwords?

Did you read my post...?

yep, did read it and that involves me writing down all the passwords, just wondering if there was a way of transfering them automatically. I've also checked out 1password and it's very good, am going to buy it.
Just wondering if there was an easier to restore passwords without having to wrote them down.

thanks, wasn't aware if leopard could use the previous os keychain file or not.

Will give it a try.

Thanks all for the help.
