Good morning Maitrey,

Thank you for your question, which I'll summarize as, “how do I see the passwords which have been assigned to existing users”

Most software these days will not reveal existing passwords, and I just checked my copy of ViewStudio 10 and only see the “reset password” option, with no “reveal password” like feature anywhere 🙁

On the bright side, and for other students who may be interested, you can now provide your users the ability to manage their own users, groups, and passwords right from the PVPlus, making it possible to provide users with initial passwords which they update themselves in the field is now possible. Some examples of what users see is shown here: https://theautomationblog.com/managing-users-running-viewme-panelview-plus-application/

Also, in the Second Edition of PVP Basics I will be covering security features in detail. That course is due out this Fall (2019) and will be free to all PVP Basics + enrollees. And anyone who has PVP Core Basics will be able to upgrade for the difference in price.

Sincerely,

Shawn Tierney,
Automation Instructor at The Automation School
