Description
A plea...
Deanna and I have been running this site since 2008 and lately we're seeing a big increase in
users (and cost) but a decline in percentage of users who donate. Our ad-free and junkware-free
download site only works if everyone chips in to offset the revenue that ads on other sites bring
in. Please donate at the bottom of the page. Every little bit helps. Thank you so much.
Sincerely,
your Older Geeks: Randy and Deanna

Password Security Scanner v1.62

A free utility that scans the passwords stored by popular Windows applications and displays security information about them.

This utility scans the passwords stored by popular Windows applications (Microsoft Outlook, Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and more...) and displays security information about all these passwords. The security information of every stored password includes the total number of characters, number of numeric characters, number of lowercase/uppercase characters, number of repeating characters, and password strength. You can use this tool to determine whether the passwords used by other users are secured enough, without watching the passwords themselves.




System Requirements:
This utility works on any version of Windows, starting from Windows 2000 and up to Windows 11.
On the latest update of Windows 11 (24H2), LSA protection is enabled by default, and this feature blocks this tool from retrieving the Windows Credentials passwords. You can disable the LSA protection by following the instructions on this Microsoft Web page: Disable LSA protection

Supported Applications:
Currently, Password Security Scanner scans the passwords of the following applications:
vInternet Explorer 4.0 - 6.0
• Internet Explorer 7.0 - 11.0
• Mozilla Firefox (All Versions)
• Mozilla Thunderbird
• Google Chrome
• Dialup/VPN passwords of Windows (Requires elevation)
• MSN/Windows Messenger
• Microsoft Outlook
• Windows Live Mail
• Yandex Web Browser
• Vivaldi Web Browser
• SeaMonkey Web browser.
• Pale Moon Web browser.
• Chromium-Based Edge Web browser
• Opera Web browser (Version 15 or greater)
• Windows Credentials Passwords (Requires elevation)

Support for more applications will be added in future versions.

Known Limitations:
• Password Security Scanner cannot scan the passwords of Firefox if they are protected by a master password.
• The dialup passwords and Credentials passwords of Windows can only be detected if you run Password Security Scanner with Administrator privileges (elevation).

Changes:
v1.62:
Fixed a crash problem on Windows 11 24H2.
Updated to work properly in high DPI mode.


Start Using Password Security Scanner:
Password Security Scanner doesn't require any installation process or additional dll files. In order to start using it, simply run the executable file - PasswordScan.exe
After you run PasswordScan.exe, Password Security Scanner scans the passwords stored on your system, and then displays the security information of all found passwords inside the main window.
You can also go to the 'Advanced Options' window (F9) and choose to displays only insecure passwords with low number of characters or with low password strength value.

Columns Description:
• Item Name: The name of the item. For Web site passwords, the address of the Web site is displayed. For email passwords, the email address is displayed.
• Password Type: The type of the password: Web Browser, Messenger, Email, or Dialup/VPN.
• Application: The application that stores the specified password item: Microsoft Outlook, Firefox, Internet Explorer, and so on...
• User Name: The user name that is used with the specified password item.
• Password Length: The total number of characters in the password.
• Numeric: The total number of numeric characters (0 - 9) in the password.
• Lowercase: The total number of lowercase characters (a - z) in the password.
• Uppercase: The total number of uppercase characters (A - Z) in the password.
• Other ASCII: The total number of non-alphanumeric characters in the password.
• Non-English: The total number of non-English characters in the password.
• Repeating: The total number of repeating characters in the password. For example, if the password is abcdab, then the 'Repeating' value will be 2, because both a and b characters appears more than once.
• Password Strength: The strength of the password, calculated according to number of parameters, including the total number of characters, number of repeating characters, type of characters used in the passwords, and more...
• The numeric value displayed in this column represents the strength of the password, according to the following list:
▸ 1 - 7: Very Weak
▸ 8 - 14: Weak
▸ 15 - 25: Medium
▸ 26 - 45: Strong
▸ 46 and above: Very Strong
• Windows User: The Windows user that owns the password. For most passwords, this column will display the current logged-on user. However, for Dialup passwords of Windows, you might also see the passwords of other Windows users, and in those cases, this column will display the Windows users that created the dialup password.
