Elcomsoft Distributed Password Recovery 4.71 expands the list of supported data formats, adding support for eight additional password management apps. By recovering the master password to the protected vault, investigators can gain access to the entire database containing all of the user’s passwords.

We are excited to announce the release of Elcomsoft Distributed Password Recovery 4.71. This time we are expanding the list of supported data formats by adding support for eight additional password management tools.

The list of newly added password managers supported by Elcomsoft Distributed Password Recovery 4.71 includes Bitwarden, Dropbox Passwords, Enpass, Kaspersky, Keeper, Roboform, Sticky Password, and Zoho Vault.

Perhaps the most interesting of those password managers is Bitwarden, a free, open-source solution available for multiple platforms as a stand-alone app and in the form of browser extensions. Elcomsoft Distributed Password Recovery supports password databases maintained by both the stand-alone Windows app as well as its Firefox and Chromium-based browser extension, which include extensions for Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and other Web browsers based on the Chromium engine.

Password managers help users store, organize, and use their passwords. The use of password managers relieves users from having to memorize numerous unique, strong passwords, allowing them to maintain unique and secure authentication credentials at different resources. Most password managers keep authentication credentials (logins, passwords and other data) in a database, while a user-selected master password is used to encrypt that database. By breaking that single master password, investigators can unprotect and gain access to the entire password database.

Elcomsoft Distributed Password Recovery uses state-of-the-art acceleration techniques to speed up recovery, utilizing all available GPUs installed in the workstation. GPU-accelerated attacks with AMD, Intel, and NVIDIA boards are supported for all newly added password managers except Dropbox. GPU acceleration can speed up the recovery up to 500 times compared to a CPU alone (depending on the hardware), while distributed attacks with multiple connected computers can further speed up attacks.
