The Day Today

This is the kind of software that can save lives. Well maybe not lives, but it can certainly save a lot of stress when you can’t remember your password to that FTP site, which is saved but now you need to use it on a new machine or provide it to someone else. Basically Snadboy’s Revelation (which also happens to have the best name for an app that I’ve seen this year!) reveals those passwords that are obfiscated by using something like asterisks - depending on the operating system. This is defiantely the kind of software we’ve all looked for in the past but find too numerous shareware applications that we get scared off by the thought of most of them loading our machines with nasty malware. I’ve checked this one out and it appears to be one of the good ones.

Of course there are also evil reasons to want to see passwords that are otherwise hidden, but I trust you.
