MessenPass 1.24 is the updated version of the instant messenger password recovery tool MessenPass.
The application helps to recover forgotten instant messenger passwords of the current user who has logged in to the IM on the local computer. It will be successful in password retrieval only if you had enabled the remember the password option in the Instant messenger program. MessenPass detects the IM on the system and decrypts the username/ password stored in it.
If MessenPass is unsuccessful in locating the installed Instant Messenger application, you can manually pick the right folder of your IM application by using ‘Select Folders’ option (from the File menu). Select one or more password items on the main window of MessenPass, and then copy them to the clipboard in tab-delimited format or save them into text/html files. Passwords can be saved through command line options also.
You will not be able to retrieve passwords of other users of the IM using this software. The extra feature added in version 1.24 as compared with prior versions is the support for Digsby Instant messenger program.
