The typed password is not displayed on the screen, and instead of the real password, you see a sequence of asterisk (‘****’) characters. This utility can reveal the passwords stored behind the asterisks in standard password text-boxes.

Asterisk Logger allows you the save the passwords to HTML file and to 3 types of text files.
In order to reveal the passwords inside asterisk text-boxes, follow the instructions below:
