It is very convenient to save login passwords for internet sites such as forums, blogs or paysites to login quicker to those websites. That is, it is great until you can’t remember the password anymore but would like to know it again. This could be the case if you want to switch from Internet Explorer to Firefox or Opera for instance. Protected Storage Pass View does not only reveal passwords that have been saved in Internet Explorer while accessing protected sites or using the auto complete form but also passwords that have been saved in Outlook Express and MSN Explorer.

ie pass view

All of the passwords are encrypted and possibly hidden in the registry and Pass View automatically scans and displays all the information that it can find in the registry. Internet Explorer passwords are shown next to the url and the username which is all the information one needs to access the site again.

Please note that only the passwords of the user who is currently logged into the system are revealed in this manner. Click here to download protected storage pass view and ie pass view.

Well, if I’m off my terminal for a moment while someone just comes in to use, wouldn’t it be possible for him to retrieve all the passwords that I have entered at the moment? This is part of a security flaw, I feel.

Can one trust such a tool ? One can’t be sure it doesn’t do a bit more than what it claims to. If it can reveal the protected storage, it might transmit the usernames and passwords at the next internet connection as well. Who knows ?
This kind of free tool may be safe, but can be not. And as it is not absolutely necessary to try it, I won’t take the risk.

“Can one trust such a tool?” Of course not. That’s why you have firewalls and anti-virus scans. The moment it tries to dial out you know it’s a trojan. Duh. Any good tester, including you scriptbabies, would have imaged the test system’s harddrive with Nero Ghost already prior to seeing it this tries to dial out. This is why I am not stating whether this is safe or not - don’t take my word for it, just test it safely.

No I won’t, Dante.

Ah. I see what you are now. Just posting to post. Never contributing anything. Just say a few derogatory words on the subject and than look smug and intellectual cause you’ve “said” something. To me, this product is useless. A keylogger is more effective. But if something like you don’t like it… time to give this another look.

in firefox, you also can view the saved passwords unless you put master password to protect it.
