If you cannot seem to remember passwords anymore, you can turn to specialized tools that can retrieve the keys and reveal them to you. However, this only works if the passcodes are saved somewhere on your computer, like web browsers or Windows registry.

A simple application for this is Password Revealer. Designed with one goal in mind, the tool is capable of reading the keys hidden under asterisk. As previously mentioned, this is functional only if the codes were remembered by your computer because it means they are kept somewhere in the system.

Before proceeding any further, you should know that this software project is very old, and our tests have demonstrated that it doesn't work on newer implementations of Windows. Nevertheless, you can still use it if you are running an older OS.

There is no installation requires for this program. It's wrapped in a lightweight and portable executable file that can be double-clicked after download to run Password Revealer right away. In order to avoid errors that may occur due to system permission issues, it's better to run the tool with administrative privileges.

The graphical interface consists of a single, tiny window that shows the app's description, along with a button for revealing passwords right away. Please note that the window with the passcode hidden under asterisk must be first brought up to the screen before clicking the main window button to reveal contents.
