    Converting password dots to plain text?

    You know how every time you type a password it turns into ••••••••? That bothers me.

    During the iTools->.Mac switch I lost the e-mail adress in which I had registred for AIM.
    Now I have forgotten my password. It's still in my Mac, but I can't get it out in plain text...

    For Windows I once stumbled over a program which turned those hidden passwords into readable text, I wondered if there is such an app for Mac OS X...

    You mean the password is still in your keychain? Because you could just open keychain manager (in Utilities, I believe), and get it to show you the password in plaintext.
