Most of the applications store the Login passwords and critical information to prevent hassle of entering the password every time by the user. Often these applications use their own proprietary encryption mechanism to store the credentials. But on Mac many applications use the Keychain files for storing the username,passwords and sometime even other critical data. In such cases KeychainRecovery helps in recovering the lost master password of the Keychain file.

  • Recovers the Keychain Master Password through ‘Dictionary method’ using system or user specified dictionary file.
