Remote Desktop PassView

RDP files provide users with a graphical interface to connect to another computer over a network connection. They work relying on the Remote Desktop Protocol, hence the file format. As the connection is achieved using user credentials, you need a password to securely connect to another computer.

Remote Desktop PassView is a handy piece of software that can help you recover lost remote desktop credentials, by processing RDP files and extracting the password for each user stored.

The application helps you recover lost passwords from certain RDP files, so that you may remotely access a computer once more. It does so by simply pointing the program to the desired RDP file.

You can seamlessly process a large number of RDP files, as each one is separately displayed into the main window. This way, you can open several RDP files, and extract the passwords and usernames associated to each one.

Remote Desktop PassView allows you to quickly extract user credentials stored in RDP files, thus recovering lost passwords. The application is pretty straightforward and portable enough to be copied and ran from any folder, flash drive or data disc.

Files can be simply drag-and-dropped into the main window, as they will be processed and have their user credentials extracted.

Remote Desktop PassView does what it says, as it offers you a quick and simple way of viewing user credentials stored in RDP files, which are created when remotely connecting to another computer. Although the application is safe to use, it might be detected as malware by certain antiviruses, which could confuse some people.

The program works only on RDP files created by the currently logged user. Although this can be seen as a security measure, so that others cannot use your RDP files to find out your user credentials, the application could be improved to work with any RDP file, providing that some security questions are asked if the currently logged user does not match the one recovered from the RDP file.
