HKCU\Software\MultiDesk\key (a hex string).Password fields in MultiDesk.xml or the registry.Decrypt saved passwords from the MultiDesk RDP manager (modern $1$ and legacy 3.16 formats) using the registry key. Runs entirely in your browser.
MultiDesk is a tabbed Remote Desktop (RDP) manager that stores saved connection passwords encrypted with RC4, using a per-installation key kept in the Windows registry at HKCU\Software\MultiDesk\key. This tool reproduces the decryption logic of Paradoxis/MultiDesk-Decrypt: provide that registry key plus an encrypted password (or a whole MultiDesk.xml export) and it recovers the plaintext locally, for forensics and authorized password recovery on systems you own.
Input:
key + $1$aabb...$3c9f... (or MultiDesk.xml)
Output:
S3cr3tPass!
Where do I get the key?
From the Windows registry value HKCU\Software\MultiDesk\key on the machine where MultiDesk is installed. It is a hex string used as the RC4 key.
Which formats are supported?
Both the modern MultiDesk 5+ format ($1$salt$ciphertext) and the legacy 3.16 base64 format are handled automatically.
Can I decrypt a whole config at once?
Yes. Paste your MultiDesk.xml in XML mode and it lists every server with its decrypted password, including entries that inherit credentials from a parent group.
Is anything uploaded?
No. The key, passwords, and XML are processed entirely in your browser.
