Google Password Decryptor is the FREE
software to instantly recover stored
Google account passwords by various Google applications as well as
popular web browsers and messengers. Most of the Google's desktop applications such
as GTalk, Picassa etc store the Google account passwords to prevent
hassale of entering the password everytime for the user. Even the
web browsers and messengers store the login passwords including
Google account passwords in an encrypted format.
GooglePasswordDecryptor automatically crawls through each of these
applications and recovers the encrypted Google account password in
clear text.
Google uses the single centralized account for managing all of its
services such as Gmail, Picassa, GTalk, iGoogle, Desktop Search etc.
Since all of these core services are controlled by one account,
losing the password will easily make one's life miserable. Also
trying the Google password recovery service will turn out to be
useless unless you have setup the secondary account for receiving
the password and you remember all the personal details that you have
entered at the time of account creation. In such situation
GooglePasswordDecryptor helps in recovering your Google password
from any of the supported applications.
Current version supports
report generation in XML format along with existing
