Editorial Review of Asterisk Key

This simple freebie solves a problem too many of us often have--how to recover passwords we've forgotten, for example to a Web site, or to your Web mail. Asterisk Key works only if your browser has remembered the password. So, for example, if you are logging into a Web site, and when you type in your user name, your browser remembers it, this program will be able to look under the asterisks or dots that typically mask a password, and then reveal them to you. You can also save your results to a text file, so that you have a permanent record of it.

It's exceedingly simple to use. When you're at a Web site whose password you want to recover, run the program, click the Recover button, and Asterisk Key does its work. Note that the program is free--but if you want versions of it to recover passwords from specific applications, such as Lotus Notes, Outlook, OneNote, and others, you can order for-pay versions of that specific software from Passware.
