QuickBooks Key

QuickBooks Key is an application designed to recover passwords that you can no longer remember from QuickBooks files with the .qbw, .qba and .qbb extension. QuickBooks is an accounting software product developed for small businesses.

Installing this tool takes minimal time and effort, since there are no special options, software requirements, or third-party offers involved.

As far as the interface is concerned, QuickBooks Key adopts a normal window with a plain appearance and simple layout, where you can use the file browser to open .qbw, .qba or .qbb items, whether they are in the local, removable or network locations.

Unfortunately, batch processing is not supported, so the utility's capable of retrieving passwords from only one file at a time. The key is shown in the main window and can be selected to copy it to the Clipboard by triggering the global keyboard shortcut or by opening the right-click menu.

It's also possible to save the report to a plain text document by specifying the output directory and filename. The recently opened files and visited folders are recorded by the app and can be viewed from the File menu. There are no other notable options available, apart from the fact that hotkeys are supported.

It didn't put a strain on the computer's performance in our tests, since it required a low amount of CPU and RAM to work properly. We haven't experienced any unpleasant issues as far as stability goes, since the application didn't hang, crash or indicate errors.

On the other hand, QuickBooks Key hasn't been updated for a long time. Nevertheless, you can test it for yourself if you're looking to get hold of lost or forgotten passwords to QuickBooks files.
