Asterisk Password Recovery XP is designed to help you read any of your passwords that are covered by the asterisks by simply moving the mouse cursor over the password field. Many applications under Windows system allow a convenient storage of frequently used passwords, such as the password of your dial-in ISP, the password of your email client, or FTP tool. Once the password is stored, it is hidden under a row of asterisks and can not be read by you again.
