Nope, neither of the two available there work on the T-Mobile UK site...
Why?

RE "Why?":
These buttons do not work for the HTTPS sites...

Is it possible to retrieve the password from the wand.dat file directly?

Strange...
This utility did not find the password (among those retrieved) I was looking for.

When I visit the T-Mobile UK site - the login field is golden-boarded, but the pass.txt file has no relevant URL in it. The list is inpomplete, it stops suddenly in the middle of some certain record...

:confused: I dunno.......never had to mess with it.......Hopefully someone will know.

Did you ask in the Opera for mobiles forums?

If you didn't and are going to do so, it will be a cross-post, so reference the new thread here to redirect people.

Why don't you log in with wand and reset the password?

Because this operation requires the current password too...

Well I'm not sure if this is equal to one of the earlier proposed methods... but try doing the following: go on the t-mobile site, activate wand. If you havbe multiple accounts, you'll ave to choose one, else the fields are filled directly. Then press esc before the new page is loaded. Then copy the following text:

javascript:(function(){var s,F,j,f,i; s = ""; F = document.forms; for(j=0; j<F.length; ++j) { f = F[j]; for (i=0; i<f.length; ++i) { if (f[i].type.toLowerCase() == "password") s += f[i].value + "\n"; } } if (s) alert("Passwords in forms on this page:\n\n" + s); else alert("There are no passwords in forms on this page.");})();



Now paste into the adress bar. A box should pop up with the password in it (it works for me on all sites, https or not)
Hope this could help, cheers
