Those who love to chat on the Internet using instant messengers use to save their passwords on their personal computers, although this sometimes puts their accounts at risk.

It’s a common thing and MessenPass proves how dangerous such a practice could be. Designed to help you recover the instant messaging password you’ve forgotten, MessenPass scans a computer for installed messengers and shows them along with the username.

The application is compatible with a wide array of software solutions, including Windows Live Messenger, the old MSN Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, Google Talk, Pidgin and Trillian.

There’s one thing to be clarified though. MessenPass only works if the user has decided to save the username and password inside the application for a faster login, so it cannot be used to reveal passwords used by other accounts.

We’ve tested the app with Pidgin and Yahoo Messenger and in both cases it recovered the passwords which made us feel a bit unsafe, although that’s not the purpose of the application.

Getting back to the app, there’s also a tiny settings menu that lets you choose the location of the messengers, thus helping it find the password for every specific application.

All in all, MessenPass is a great solution if you don’t remember your messenger password anymore and since it’s delivered as a very light package, trying it is just a matter of time.
