If you reached LostMyPass guides while looking for a service that accepts your file, our LostMyPass file-recovery alternative explains the current domain distinction and how to start a supported upload. For the wider workflow, see the professional recovery service guide. LostMyPassPro is a separate service on lostmypasspro.com.
LostMyPassPro starts with your email and protected file, or a supported password hash where that intake applies. After identifying the protection, the service applies suitable rules to our private curated password data, including word mutations, dates and symbol patterns. You do not need to open an account, install software, or provide your own hardware.
Reviewed 3 October 2026, Passper's official product site lists separate products for Excel, Word, PowerPoint, PDF, RAR, and ZIP, while its Pro store page describes a six-format bundle. The installed workflow leaves setup and execution with the customer.
Fast Check is the initial LostMyPassPro path and starts without upfront payment. If the case is eligible, Deep is optional with an activation payment and a success fee if a match is returned. Brute is optional as a separately quoted standalone run with fixed prepayment and no success fee. Availability depends on the file's protection and is checked before purchase. For an eligible uploaded file, the quote may offer a lower-priced unlocked copy instead of the original password; available options and the current price are shown before you choose.
Passper's official PDF product page describes dictionary, combination, mask, and brute-force modes. Those controls are useful when you want to shape the search yourself, but a full desktop run still requires the relevant product or bundle and your own setup.
Passper's local desktop advantage is clear for local-only policies: its official PDF support page says that the PDF product does not send, analyze, store, or copy user files. Check the exact product and operating-system requirements before relying on that statement for another format.
LostMyPassPro is an online service, so upload only assets you are authorized to process. Its supported file and hash profiles are checked at intake; neither service should be treated as covering every encrypted file or every password-hash variant.
