ActMon Password Recovery XP (formerly iOpus Password Recovery XP) is the first tool of its kind that works automatically on Web pages, Windows 9x/NT and Windows 2000/XP systems.
Windows systems allow a convenient storage of frequently used passwords, such as the passwords in Outlook Express email or for a FTP connection. However, since you no longer enter the saved password manually, you tend to forget them. What are you to do when you need to know one of the saved passwords? The password is staring right at you, but is hiding behind a row of "*****" asterisks.
For 9x and NT users the solution was to use a password recovery utility that displayed the passwords inside the box. But as many users upgrade to Windows XP they realize that Microsoft changed the security of the password boxes and all old password recovery tools fail on Windows XP. But with the new iOpus Password Recovery users can reveal their forgotten passwords on XP and Windows 2000 as easily as on Windows 98 or Windows ME.
This nifty utility allows you to reclaim your password: Activate the utility, drag the mouse cursor onto the password field and your password is revealed instantly.
It can also be a great help to make sure you type a (complicated) password correctly.
Limitations: This utility works well with most password screens you will encounter on a MS Windows system, such as the password fields of Outlook Express or within CuteFTP. However, it does not work with applications that do not actually store the password "behind" the asterisks e. g. the Windows NT User Manager. The standard password recovery works on Win 95, 98, ME, Windows NT, Windows 2000 and Windows XP (all Editions). The WEB password recovery is designed for use with Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 (or better) on all Windows platforms.
