My understanding is that there are more than several different methods of password-type security. Some are simple enough for the
asterisk-revealers to work on...others, not so much. In order to retrieve most of the passwords on
your (or others) machine, you
need a toolkit with many different type of "crackers".

Could be. I'm not saying yes, I'm not saying no. Well, maybe I'm saying yes.

I can't seem to get it to do anything, either. I assume that I just don't
know how to use it. I've emailed the company, but no response yet.
