Password
I'm new to Steemit and I already have a issue with the login password.
The "Generated Password" that I faithfully copied will not work. Fortunately, I had checked the "Keep me logged in" box and that is the only reason I am able to access Steemit.
Obviously, my computer has the correct password stored in a file somewhere. Does anyone reading this know how to find that file?
If I am unable to solve this any other way does it make sense to delete my account with Steemit and re-apply? If I did that, could I use my same email, phone number, and username? Or, would I have to use a different email, phone number, and username.
If I am improperly formatting my question, using the wrong protocol for submitting my problem, or otherwise in violation of Steemit tradition or rules; I apologize.
Any advice on this issue would be appreciated. I'm sure this is not the only time this situation has occurred and the solution is probably something obvious I have overlooked. But, on the other hand, this particular issue might well be of general interest.
Hey dude, I can reasonably assume your are able to log in due to a session cookie that's stored in your browser. I doubt that steemit uses an plain/unobfuscated password as a cookie for log us in.
Might just have to make a new account. I'll keep looking.
Yup, looks like you just have a valid general authorization session cookie. They don't automatically save the string, you had to copy and paste it to a protected location.
Okay, I should have just looked hard, here you go.

Thanks for the reply. I strongly believe you are right. Frankly, I'm still scratching my head over this one; I don't understand how this situation is even possible.
