The software utility supports import from the local or remote machine, and formats such as SAM, LC4 and PWDUMP. The built-in dictionary can be edited and removed, or you can add others (DIC files). Once the auditing session is finished, the main window is going to display a report, containing important information such as password length distribution, risk status, character sets (expressed in percentage), and number of accounts and domains.

All in all, L0phtCrack Password is an efficient piece of software that helps you scan for different types of passkeys on local or remote machines, local networks etc., aided by an intuitive wizard and powerful import capabilities.
