- Description
- ===========
-
- When you login into a web site with user name and password, you sometimes
- have the option to store the password in your computer. If you choose to
- save the password, in the next time that we'll visit this site, the
- password field will be automatically filled with your password, but you
- won't be able to view it, because the password-box shows the password as
- sequence of asterisks (****).
- This utility reveals the passwords stored behind the asterisks in the web
- pages of Internet Explorer 5.0 and above. You can use it for recovering a
- lost web site password, if it's stored on your computer.
