PasswordSpy

PasswordSpy is a small Windows utility designed with a single goal in mind: to help you recover lost or forgotten passwords which are hidden behind asterisks.

Since this is a portable program, it is important to mention that it doesn’t leave any traces in the Windows Registry. You can copy it on any USB flash drive or other devices, and take it with you whenever you want to decrypt passwords on the fly.

PasswordSpy boasts a simplistic interface that offers quick access to only a few configuration settings. In order to recover the lost passwords, you are required to drag the magnifying glass over the hidden passwords.

If the application is able to decrypt the information, then it automatically displays the password directly in the primary panel. Plus, it gives details about the mouse position and name of the application.

What’s more, PasswordSpy comes packed with three decryption modes (normal, high or full). Of course, the last method is the most powerful one, as it gives you the possibility to recover the password when the other two modes failed in decrypting it.

You cannot export the generated information to a file, but you can copy it to the Clipboard and paste it in other third-party applications.

During our testing we have noticed that the tool carries out a task quickly and without errors throughout the entire process. As it would be expected from such a small utility, it manages to remain light on the computer resources, so it doesn’t hamper system performance, nor interfere with other programs’ functionality.

PasswordSpy offers an intuitive working environment for helping you decrypt passwords hidden behind asterisk. It can be easily installed and configured by all types of users, regardless of their experience level.
