ExtPassword! is a newly released portable application designed to assist users in recovering stored passwords from external drives, particularly in scenarios where the primary disk fails to boot but its files remain accessible. This versatile tool supports a wide range of password types, including those from popular web browsers and email clients, as well as credentials for dial-up/VPN services, wireless networks, and Windows-specific accounts.
The application can decrypt and extract passwords from various software, including:
- Web Browsers: Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Opera, Firefox, Internet Explorer, and more.
- Email Clients: Microsoft Outlook, Thunderbird, and Windows Mail for both Windows 10 and 11.
- Other Credentials: Windows network keys, product keys, and security questions.
A unique feature of ExtPassword! is its ability to automatically access and decrypt Microsoft account cache files, making it easier to recover passwords linked to Microsoft accounts. On Windows 10, the app can even decrypt DPAPI passwords without requiring users to input their login passwords, provided specific conditions regarding the LSA secret are met.
While ExtPassword! is user-friendly with a detailed step-by-step guide available on the author's site, potential users should be aware that the nature of the application may lead to it being flagged as a false positive by some security systems.
Additional Features and Support
ExtPassword! is continually updated to support an ever-growing list of software, ensuring that users can recover passwords from the most commonly used applications. It is especially beneficial for IT professionals and individuals who frequently work with multiple systems or manage numerous accounts.
