Passwords are hidden in their input fields for good reason, but you may end up forgetting a password, and you won't be able to get it back from anywhere. If you have ticked a "Remember Me" option or something else that keeps your password written down in the input field, you can use Asterisk Password Spy to decode the asterisks and recover your password. It supports a wide range of 32-bit Windows applications, and it can give you your password back instantly. Just point it in the right direction and you're done.

The software comes in free and paid editions, with the former being limited to 32-bit applications. You can download its setup package and install its components in under a minute, without making any advanced settings along the way. The application doesn't ask for any special tools or services and you don't need powerful hardware to run it.

You can recover your passwords directly from input fields in various Windows applications. The best part is that the recovery process itself is as quick and simple as it can be. All you have to do is click and drag a magnifying glass over a password input field and the asterisks will be decoded instantly on the software's interface.

Once you place the magnifying glass over an input field, you will find the password in a list, along with the name of the application from which you've recovered it, as well as its corresponding process ID and path. You can recover multiple passwords and add them to the same list. What's more, the application lets you save the passwords you've recovered in an HTML, XML or CSV file, so you will have them written down in case you forget them again.

Asterisk Password Spy gives you one more chance to recover the passwords you forget, and it makes it as easy as possible.


Pros

The application can decode passwords that show up as asterisks in input fields. The process is instantaneous, and you only need to click and drag an icon to start it.

Cons

The free version doesn't work with 64-bit applications.
