Message: [QUOTE="jviss, post: 6678949"] Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) Processor: Intel My Mac system password is displayed in plain text on the splash screen for all MS Office 2008 applications. It is displayed on the splash screen on the third line down at the top left of the splash screen. The first line is "This product is licensed to:"; the second is my name. The third is my system password, in plain text. The fourth line is "Product ID: xxx...." My jaw dropped when I noticed it. I tried Word, Powerpoint, Excel, and Entourage, adn it is the same on all. Either I misunderstood a field when installing Office and put my password in where I should have typed something else, or this is a serious security problem. Can someone please explain this? Tell me what I did wrong, and how I can fix this so my password is not displayed, please! Thanks, jv [/QUOTE]
