TuT How to find/recover your iCaughtU Pro Password!

[Rook 568.5k iPad Pro (2nd gen) 17.4 Donor]

Requirements:

- iCaugtU Pro From Cydia

- iFile/Filza or any file browsers on your PC.

- Apple File Conduit "2" tweak if you'll be using iFunBox, iTools etc on your PC.

- OpenSSH tweak if you'll be SFTP-ing your iDevice.

 

 

Instructions:

1. Navigate to /var/mobile/Library/Preferences & find com.itaysoft.icaughtupro.pass.plist.

 

2. Edit that file with any text editors and it will show you your password in plain text in between the <string> tags.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
	<key>lockpasswordPIN</key>
	<string>1234</string>
</dict>
</plist>

Useful if you forgot the password you set on iCaughtU Pro (like me). Some other app locking tweaks store their password in the location mentioned above also.

Why don't they at least use base64 encryption. It takes a very small amount time and effort to do so.

Would the settings be able to read from them by doing so?

It should. It's just that the password needs to be decrypted first.
