Ask HN: safe program for showing saved passwords

Cut your loses, reset your passwords and use a program called "your brain"

Serious, I am not being an ass. I remember all of my complex passwords for everything, no hackers can get to them, no hidden piece of paper in my office and no post-it note on my monitor.

Nirsoft has many, many good password recovery tools. http://nirsoft.net/password_recovery_tools.html

Try multi password recovery on windows

Use 1password (1password.com) - and keep an online copy of your 1password password file at cloudsafe.com

I'm guessing you are on Windows, so I'd recommend Keepass (google for official web-site). Store all your passwords in there or any similar password store.

If Windows 7 now has the ability to securely store passwords ala MacOSX's Keychain or a Java's Keystore, that could also be an option worth investigating.

he wants a tool to dig up passwords that have already been cached. I don't think there's an all-in-one tool to do this, and I'd bet the ones that claim to be able to are shady or very expensive. Probably both.
