Ahh, you caught me! There I was just getting ready to set up my "Harry
Binswanger's passwords" file, expecting some permutations of Ayn, for
sure...

However, the real problem with the program whose link I sent is that it
doesn't work. At least not on my system, and with Firefox. I
occasionally used a similar program in the past, but had forgotten its
name, and I simply found the link to this one through a search. There
are lots of others out there, too (search on "password unmask asterisks"
or similar). From here on out, you're on your own.
