Some sites allow you to save your password in your browser making it easier to login to the site. This sometimes shows your login and password (as asterisks) as already filled in the form fields. This makes it very easy to retrieve the saved web password shown as asterisks.

using Password Spyer 2k, recoverying such passwords is just one click away. Simply opening the web site that contains the password and waiting until the password field is filled with the password as asterisks and then opening the registered version of Password Spyer 2k and clicked on show web passwords will give you a listing of all IE browsers having a saved password in any page.
