A review of a password recovery program that came to my desk today for IM packages and a question to my readers

| I was hesitant at first on Advanced
IM Password Recovery by Elcomsoft
(they apparently do a ton of software, but Notes was not one of them),
but did some research and reading on the web about it. It clearly
does what it says, and quite easily. The freeware version is limited,
it will do the task but not always give
you the password depending on
the complexity. They are very up front in the readme about the few
things they can or cannot do, which was nice to read. GoogleTalk
was recently added into the mix as another IM provider.
The point of all this you ask? Sametime was not listed if you peek at the images. But imagine that it was, which in turn gives a person your Internet password. In turn, this might sync to your Notes password. So the question begins, how many of you maintain numerous alternate password across systems, and from web to id file? we could run numerous directions with this one, form retention times, to forced password changes to password quality and complexity requirements through policies and registration. Give me the feedback, I tihnk it could be a good thread this week in numerous directions, theme blogging time! | |
