hmm.. when the apps are clicked, it comes up standalone , not part of browser.. is there a way to know for sure if there is a link to a browser or not?
(i would refer to any apps that opens up and the password is already filled out, and you just have to click, 'OK')

in general, when you click to open an app and you are not 'logged' you are asked for a username (which is quite often you email address) and a password
if you cannot remember your password, you should see a 'button' Forgot Password
when you click this, you will be sent a link to reset your password
of course this means that you need an Internet connection.

>>when you click to open an app and you are not 'logged' you are asked for a username (which is quite often you email address) and a password
the password is 'stored' and already there (cant read it..) and ready to be clicked ENTER..
I forgot password - I can reset it,, but want to know first if I have legal right to see my own saved passwords on the android.. (the phone has screenlock.. so there are some security measures.. so that no one should be able to randomly take phone and access stored passwords, as I want to)

>>Every app is running in a sandbox manner and it is not able to lookup the user name and password stored by the in-app browser using any free tools.
does that mean every app is invisibly linked to a browser (perhaps from which it was downloaded?)
