Moderators Andavari Posted February 19, 2015 Moderators Share Posted February 19, 2015 CCleaner does not backup the passwords. What happened was it deleted your cookies, in the future you'll need to configure CCleaner's Cookies to Keep list located in: Options > Cookies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators mta Posted February 19, 2015 Moderators Share Posted February 19, 2015 and when CC deletes files, in your case cookies, it doesn't send them to the Recycle Bin, it really deletes them. (well you may want to try Recuva but.... no guarantees) doesn't Hotmail, Live, Outlook.com or whatever it calls itself now-days have a Forgot Password link where you are asked questions or sent a email link reset the password? Or did you not setup an alternate email address when you signed up with Hotmail? Backup now & backup often.It's your digital life - protect it with a backup.Three things are certain; Birth, Death and loss of data. You control the last.
