| Description: | There are many applications under Windows platforms that require you to enter passwords, such as your dial-in ISP, your email client and your FTP tool. These programs replace and hide the password under a row of asterisks (*) and it cannot be extracted by you again. This program is designed to help you recover any of your passwords that are covered by the asterisks. You simply place the 007 cursor over a password field. Once the 007 cursor is on top of a hidden password field, the program displays the password instantly on its screen. | ||||
