LaZagne

Let us say that you have forgotten an important password and you stubbornly decide not go through the whole 'Forgot Password' process.

If this is your case, then you can give LaZagne a try and hope that it may work for whatever password you are trying to retrieve.

In just a few words, LaZagne is a lightweight command-line tool designed to help you recover lost or forgotten password from the most commonly used browsers, a couple of email clients and even some FTP transfer and system administration tools.

In order to start using this program, just unzip its archive, open an instance of Command Prompt on your computer, load it accordingly.

This is probably the best time to point out that you should run the application with full administrative rights, especially if you are hoping to retrieve Wi-fi and Windows passwords.

Once you have launched the program, it automatically displays a series of useful modules that you can use in order to get the best out of it.

This said, you can choose to run individual modules just for chats, mails, git, svn, databases, wifi, sysadmin, browser or even games or you could just run the versatile 'All' module and manually search for the result that most interests you after.

The results should be displayed in a matter of seconds, at the very most. The app points out the usernames, passwords and tagetname's for the apps or services it has found passwords.

You can also configure the program to run specific scripts and even write all the found passwords to a text or JSON file.

Before we conclude, our tests were concluded with decent but somewhat inconclusive results, as LaZagne was indeed able to find a series of credentials quite quickly.

Despite this, we would not recommend that you fully rely on this tool to retrieve forgotten passwords, as the tool was unable to find our Windows password, or Windows account's password and other important credentials such as this.

Granted, we have tested the application on Windows 10 which is, evidently, the safest Windows to date, so there is a good probability for better results on older version of Windows instead.

LaZagne is a useful and lightweight utility that may be used to quickly retrieve passwords but you should not expect miracles, since the app is clearly in need of some extra development work before it can be called dependable. Until then, it's just hit and miss, we are afraid.
