Do you have trouble remembering your passwords? Or do you share your account with somebody who just changed the password and forgot to notify you? Losing the password to an account can be a hellish experience. Your files, your contacts, potentially all the saved information in your account can be lost. And that is where password recovery software comes into play.

Today we explore MessenPass, an amazing password recovery software that works swimmingly with many popular instant messaging software.

The software is only ~70 KB large and does not even require installation. Just double click on the EXE file that is extracted from the downloaded ZIP archive, and MessenPass will obtain the usernames and corresponding passwords from all messenger software. Here is what MessenPass looks like:

For obvious reasons, I blacked out the username and password. On my system the only messaging client running at the moment is Windows Live Messenger (which registers as MSN Messenger in MessenPass) and my username and password for Windows Live were quickly displayed.

MessenPass is mighty useful freeware which prove to be extremely beneficial for people who have multiple messaging software running on their PC’s.
