As previously posted, we have been getting several emails telling us about the bugs in Trillian Password Recovery over the past several months. After re-testing the current version in various environments we have decided to completely re-write the program.

After thorough testing, we’re now ready to make the new version available for download.

What makes our program different?
It’s dead simple to use - just install it and click on the “Recover Password” button. It will do the rest of work for you automatically. No need to look for data files that store your passwords (though ‘external file’ option is available too, just in case you want to decode Trillian password files brought from another computer).
The program has a very sophisticated algorithm for finding the needed data files. If the there’s a Trillian password data file stored somewhere on the system Password Recovery for Trillian will find it.

Finding Trillian passwords has never been easier!

P.S. All registered users get the upgrade for free.

As stated on our program pages, we regularly test our software for compatibility.
Gmail Password Recovery needs an update on the following sides:

1. Add support for Gmail and Google passwords stored in new Firefox 3. It looks like Firefox password manager changed storage location every time the new version was released
2. Add support for Google Calendar Synch
3. IE6: there’s no need to update the algorithm for the new Internet Explorer 6. The current algorithm recovers these without a problem

We have previously reported some bugs in our FileZilla Password Decoder.

I wanted to let our users know that we’re also working on fixing the bugs in Trillian password recovery tool. We have received numerous bug reports on this program and will put a priority on this bugfix release.

Here’s a list of things we want to fix:

• The passwords from new versions of Trillian (3, Astra & Pro) are not recovered. Partly due to the fact that current password location search is not sophisticated enough
• Small buffer - we have received reports about the current version of decrypter not showing all passwords due to low variable size
• Missing characters in passwords. The decryption algorithm is limited in the range of characters that it understands

Thanks to our dear users, we have identified two issues with the FileZilla Password Recovery:

1. Passwords can be recovered from FileZilla v2.x from both registry and xml files but FileZilla 3.x passwords are not recovered
2. Size of one of the variables that holds the data internally is not large enough. As a result when you have many sites saved in the Connection Manager some of these sites will not be shown.

In the next couple of weeks we’ll re-write our FileZilla password decryption tool and release a new version with these and other tiny bugs removed.

We’re happy to release a major update that indeed makes the program the best of its’ kind in terms of recovering your Google passwords. If a Google password is saved on your PC by one of the applications that use Google services the program will find and show this password.

What’s been added:

• Support for Google Desktop password decryption (CryptProtectData algorithm is used to store the encrypted password)
• Support for Google Photos Screensaver password decoding (Google Picasa Screensaver) (CryptProtectData algorithm is used to store the encrypted password)
• Support for decoding passwords from various Firefox extensions that use Google accounts: Gmail Manager passwords, Gmail Checker passwords, Webmail Notifier passwords, Gspace passwords & Gmail Notifier passwords (not to be confused with a stand-alone Gmail Notifier application that is supported already)

Fixes:

• Decryption algorithm now supports Firefox 2.x.
• During an upgrade from Firefox 1.x to Forefox 2.x sometimes signons2.txt file is added without migrating the data from signons.txt. In that case signons.txt is left without usage on your PC and you don’t even suspect your old data is still there (Firefox shows only signons2.txt if it exists). Gmail Password Recovery shows passwords from both signons.txt and signons2.txt

Let us know if you’re running a blog and wish to review the new version. We’ll give you a code for the review.

Although we state that our Gmail Password Recovery is possibly the best tool on the net to recover any Gmail passwords stored on the system, the tool could have been even better.

As part of our continuous testing cycle to make sure our tools support the latest releases of the programs we have discovered some bugs and features that could be nice to have fixed in the new versions of Gmail Password Recovery:

• The Firefox password recovery does not work on the recent Firefox version 2 and above.
• It would be great to have the Gmail Password Recovery supporting Firefox Gmail-related Add-ons such as support for:
  • Gmail Manager passwords
  • Gmail Checker passwords
  • Gmail Notifier passwords (not to be confused with a stand-alone Gmail Notifier application that is supported already)
  • Gspace passwords (uses Gmail as a remote storage space)
  • Webmail Notifier passwords
• Support for Google Desktop passwords
• Support for Google Screensaver passwords (access to Picasa web albums)

We’ll be releasing new versions to cover the fixes described above in the coming weeks, so watch out for updates!

AIM is jumping in versions from 6.5 directly to 6.8 despite having only one more-or-less significant change (Real-Time IM).

Just a short post to say that AIM Password Recovery has been tested under the new Beta AIM 6.8 that was released yesterday. Happy to say that decryption went fine. The algorithms didn’t change. Thanks AOL team!

Paltalk Password Recovery will find encrypted Paltalk, PaltalkScene & SuperIM passwords, decode them and decrypt them with a click of a button. The correct passwords are recovered automatically if they are saved on the local system and you are able to login with Paltalk automatically without having to manually enter the password. All versions of Paltalk are supported including Paltalk Scene, Basic, Plus, Extreme, Deluxe, Premium, PalPlus and SuperIM. Passwords from multiple profiles can be recovered as well as passwords from the ICQ, AIM and Yahoo Messenger that are stored by Paltalk.

As usual with all our releases we’ve done very thorough testing on many system configurations. Testing environments included Windows XP & Windows Vista; Paltalk version 8.5 (recommended for Win 95/98/ME), Paltalk 9.1 and the late PaltalkScene 9.2. We’ve also tested to make sure Paltalk decrypter works for multiple Paltalk user accounts and decodes AIM Passwords, ICQ Passwords and Yahoo Messenger passwords stored by Paltalk.

On a lightnote: I have never seen so many names and name iterations for one program! Below are the names I discovered were used to reference Paltalk on the official Paltalk site:

• Paltalk (trademarked)
• SuperIM (trademarked)
• PalPlus
• Paltalk Messenger
• PaltalkScene
• Paltalk Scene Basic
• Paltalk Scene Plus (also known as Deluxe)
• Paltalk Scene Extreme (also known as Premium)
• Paltalk Deluxe
• Paltalk Premium

I don’t like that. Software needs to be built consistently. Not just the internals. Many names impose crippled marketing.
