Both Google Talk and Internet Explorer is active. I then launch Asterisk Key and click the “Recover” button. Within a second, Asterisk Key shows the passwords hidden under asterisks.






AsteriskLogger is another fabulous program from them that will reveal any password from a program that uses asterisks automatically.
This program has some nice features that make it better than any other password revealer:
  • No need to press a button to reveal a password. Simply open the program or window that has the asterisks and the password will be revealed inside the password box itself!
  • In the main window, Asterisk Logger will display more information about the revealed password such as the date and time the password was revealed, the name of the application, and the executable file .
  • You can save the passwords to an HTML file or to a text file also.

It works on Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows 2000, and Windows XP. It even works on Windows NT, but you have to download some file called psapi.dll and put it in your System32 directory. Even without the file, you can still reveal passwords, it just won’t show additional info.


SO these were the ways to reveal hidden passwords under asterisks.
