IM Password Dump

IM Password Dump is an advanced piece of software designed to function only in command line; its main purpose is to help you recover your access credentials from a variety of chat utilities. The tool has few options that can be easily configured.

Because IM Password Dump does not feature a graphical user interface, it may deter many from even trying it, as you do need some knowledge and experience in order to be able to benefit from its functions. A GUI alternative would be Messenger Password Decryptor, which is made by the same developer and offers similar functionality.

For those of you with some basic skills in CMD, the application can prove quite handy, on the condition that you know which is the proper syntax you need to use to get the expected results.

It is advisable that you run command prompt in ‘Administrator’ mode, changing directory until you reach the installation folder of  IM Password Dump, then input the proper argument and hit the ‘Enter’ key.

The program will automatically analyze your system and retrieve all the detected account credentials (username, password and used service) in the console, for a wide range of IM tools, including Google Talk, Yahoo! Messenger and MSN Messenger. Optionally, you can export the list to a TXT file.

To summarize, IM Password Dump is an effective application which can help you recover the access details for multiple instant messenger utilities, in just a few quick button presses. It left a small footprint on system resources usage in our tests and worked on Windows 10 without any issues. This type of software comes in handy for those interested in quickly recovering their lost or forgotten login credentials to various instant messenger applications, as long as they are saved on the computer.
