Get someone's password.

Hey everyone,
My name is Mr. Badman Thief.

I have this friend of mine who i tricked into getting her yahoo login ID and password. I told her that i have some good contacts with employers that i initiated recently. I promised to link her to them, so that she could find her self a better paying job.
I told her to give me her email address so that when i go to talk to the employers, i could e-mail her the details.
after two days, i called her on her cell phone and i told her that i was actually talkin  with the employers, but for some reason, i was not able to send the details to her, some technical issues could not allow me to send e-mail to her.
I therefore told her to give me her password so i could directly put stuff in her inbox, and guess what, she obliged.
 The shocker though was, when i tested it with her face book account, i was able to login too.
That was pretty cool.
Clue name : Moonmanblack


My Task for last week was to take a photo of a anybody taking typing their password.
i basically did this task when i was called to fix somebodies computer, and in the process 
i saw him typing his password the first time but i wasn't fast enough. So i decided to 
send him a message and in the process of typing his password i took the photo.
