SC-PassUnleash 1..0

To ensure a high level of protection, numerous applications that run on top of the Microsoft-developed Windows operating system ask you to create a password. To ensure easy access, said application stores the password – and displays it as a long row of asterisks (you know ******).

Let’s assume you forgot the password for such an application. What do you do? You can still access the application, but whatever you do, you cannot remember what that password is. There is an easy way to sneak a peak underneath those asterisks and bring the password to light: you need to get SC-PassUnleash.

The functionality this application provides is quite simple. Take SC-PassUnleash’s inspector and drag it on top of a password; SC-PassUnleash will then tell you what password is hiding under that row of asterisks.

Besides, its functionality, there are a few other things you are going to like about SC-PassUnleash. The first thing you are going to like is the fact that the download weighs in at just 165KB. At such a lightweight download size, it should take but a moment for the download to complete. Not having to wait a long time for a download to complete is always a good thing. To start using SC-PassUnleash, you have to install the application. The installation process goes smoothly and rapidly – I counted some 5 clicks in all. Last but not least, you are going to like that the functionality SC-PassUnleash offers is provided free of charge. That’s right, the application is freeware.

There is one thing you are not going to like about SC-PassUnleash. While it can uncover what’s hiding under the row of asterisks in the password field of most Windows applications, it cannot do the same for passwords in browsers.
