    Alright, so back when I did a backup of my computer, I found this terminal code that allowed me to save all my passwords from Autofill onto the desktop as a textedit file.

    It was slightly coded, but still legible to any normal user - this was just so I could have a copy of all my passwords, ect, when I did the clean install. :)


    I can't find the code anymore. :( Does anyone know what code I'm talking about?? That would be extreeemely helpful. :)

    It was a terminal command.

    Basically I typed it into terminal, and it created a file on my desktop with all my passwords and accounts.
