reveal ***** passwords
PWshow is a small and simple program that can reveal passwords that are masked with asterisks or other symbols. This can come in very handy if you have forgotten your password, but have it stored in the account settings of a software where it is masked from view. After you run PWshow, you simply bring the dialog that contains the ****** password to the front and press F10 to reveal the password. Standalone program, no installation. The technique works in many, but not all applications, give it a try. The download also contains a newer beta version that allows you to change the default hotkey from F10 to something else.
