Windows 9x and NT system allow an easy storage of frequently used passwords, such as the password of your dial-in ISP or FTP connection. Unfortunately, this is also a problem: since you seldom enter the password, you tend to forget it. 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. This nifty utility allows you to see over that wall in order to reclaim your password: Activate the utility, drag the mouse cursor on the password field and New! will tell you what password is hidden under the „*****" asterisks. FREEWARE.

Limitations: This utility works well with most password screens you will encounter on a MS Windows system, such as the password fields on the standard dial-up dialog, within e. g. CuteFTP or Outlook Express. However, it does not work with applications that do not actually store the password "behind" the asterisk e. g. the Windows NT User Manager.
