AsterWin IE

AsterWin IE is a free Windows utility for viewing passwords that have been saved in Internet Explorer. It addresses situations where a website fills a password field automatically but displays the value only as a row of asterisks. The program is intended for users who need to recover a stored website password that they can no longer remember.

Its central function is to reveal the password held behind the masked field in Internet Explorer web pages. The utility supports Internet Explorer 5.0 and later versions. It is relevant when the password was previously saved on the computer and is still available for the browser to fill in. AsterWin IE does not describe a way to recover passwords that were never stored.

The product is aimed at people using Windows and Internet Explorer who need to identify an existing saved login password. It can be useful when a user can access a website through an automatically completed password but cannot read the masked field. The free license means the software can be used without a stated purchase requirement.

Within a Windows software catalog, AsterWin IE fits the category of small browser-related utilities focused on recovering saved login information.
