Re-confirm Virginmedia email app password?

During some troubleshooting with VM they asked me to regenerate my virgin media 3rd party app password. Format as I understand it is xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx

This involved re - entering password first on Thunderbird email on desktop pc - when I typed it it wouldn't accept despite several attempts. I had made a written note of it, accurately I thought!  I then copied and pasted it and it worked..

During troubleshooting I lost sight of the on screen password I copied...and when I subsequently tried to type into phone and ipad email, it wouldn't accept it..

Question I have - is it possible to re-display that password in VM settings anywhere - I only seem to be able to generate a new one, which VM dont want me to do whilst they are troubleshooting an email problem. 

Thanks

    Hey mtndave, thank you for reaching out and we are so sorry to hear about your password error.

    Is this saved anything in the cloud, it may be worth going into these settings?

    Most likely we would need to wait until the error has been fixed, have the team raised an IT ticket for you?
