Users might wish to view passwords for any number of reasons. Maybe the password is saved in the web browser, and the user has no idea what it is. Maybe a parent want to spy on their child’s activity online, who knows?
Unmask Asterisk & show hidden Password
For these reasons, we’d like to recommend a few tools to get the job done in quick succession. They are: All three are pretty effective at what they set out to accomplish, so we’re going to talk about them for a bit. 1] Asterisk Password Spy
What’s interesting about this tool, is how easy it is to use. After installation, simply drag the search icon to any password box to reveal the password behind the asterisk. Bear in mind that it only supports apps for Windows and nothing else. Here’s a list of known limitations: Download the tool from the official website. 2] BulletsPassView
This is another one we need to look at because it’s quite good as well. You see, BulletsPassView doesn’t showcase the password from within the password box, but only within the pain window of the software itself. To find passwords, you must click on the scan button to locate all passwords that are currently on-screen via a text box. Once that is done, all passwords should show up without issues inside of BulletsPassView. It works great in many browsers, including Internet Explorer. In fact, most of these tools will work best in older versions of web browsers, so bear that in mind. We should also point out that this tool comes with a command-line option, so if you’re that type of person, we suspect you’ll feel right at home. Download from the official website. 3] Snadboys Revelation
Should the tools we mentioned above fail to work accordingly, then we’d like to recommend another one known as Snadboys Revelation. It’s a weird name for a password recovery tool, but as usual, we do not care about names if the program works as advertised. Now, we tested this bad boy for a few days and can say for certain what it works quite well, even better than expected. We’ve come to enjoy this tool because it works similarly to BulletsPassView where the user must drag an icon over the password box to reveal the password inside. It’s quite capable, and as such, folks who are in need should give it a spin. Download Snadboy’s Revelation via Softpedia. Now, as you can see, we didn’t have a lot to say for each tool because they are all basics with little to no settings area. Just install and get your password, and that’s about it, to be honest.
