Password Security Scanner is a free tool for Windows that analyzes passwords stored in compatible applications, such as browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, etc.), email programs (Outlook, Thunderbird), and other software that store credentials on the system. It displays detailed information about these passwords, focusing on security without revealing the passwords themselves.
Main features:
Password Analysis: Shows data such as username, associated application, password length, estimated strength (based on entropy), and composition (use of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters).
Support for multiple programs: Scans passwords stored in browsers, email clients, FTP tools (like FileZilla), and others.
Security Reports: Assesses password strength, indicating which are weak or vulnerable (e.g., short passwords or lack of character variety).
Data Export: Allows exporting results to formats like HTML, CSV, or TXT.
Simple Interface: Does not require installation (portable) and is easy to use, with a straightforward interface.
Limitations:
Does not decrypt passwords: Only analyzes metadata, not displaying passwords in plain text.
False positives: May be flagged as suspicious by some antivirus programs due to its nature of accessing sensitive data, although it is safe.
