All,

I'm having trouble keeping my 5.06 running on my Windows 10-64bit system. Hasn't really been a problem previously, but now it is. It made me realize that all my passwords for the MUDs I've got are only in the World files and not in my password vault. Is there a way to retrieve the decrypted password so I can get them backed up elsewhere in case of continued problems keeping MUSHClient running?

Can you describe the problems? As far as I am aware it should be reliable. See below for how to get the latest pre-release update:

How is this an issue? If you can open the world file, then the client can send the password. And, as you might imagine, if the client can retrieve the password then they are not really encrypted, but merely obfuscated.
