Key features
See the site, username and password for each stored login
The program displays logins and passwords for protected sites that Chrome has saved, so you don't have to guess or reset anything.
Recover passwords of any length and complexity
The vendor says recovery is instant, however long or complicated the password is, so you can reuse it in another browser, another app or on a different computer.
Passwords in any language
Multilingual password support means logins written in non-Latin characters are handled too.
Save to a text file or copy to the clipboard
Results can be stored in a formatted text file or copied to the clipboard, so you can paste a single login into another application.
Lock the program with an access password
You can set an access password so nobody else can run the tool and read your recovered logins.
Who it's for
It suits you if you keep passwords in Chrome and need to get them out, for example when moving to a new PC or another browser. It does one job and does only that.
