If you use an instant messaging program, odds are you have it automatically log in using your remembered user name and password. This is a very handy feature, but allows you to easily forget your password since you never have to enter it. If this is the case and you want to “recover” your password, then download MessenPass.
MessenPass is a free utility which automatically detects the IM programs you have on your computer, decrypts the stored passwords and displays them in an easy to read grid. MessenPass works on a multitude of IM programs, including all the most popular ones.
You never know when you might need the ability to “remember” your password, so this is a useful utility to have available.

Well, the only way a hacker could run this program and get your passwords is if they had full access to your computer desktop.
If this is the case, you have bigger problems than your IM passwords…
