Fine if you want to turn over your credit card details to someone who cracks
passwords for a living. Notice they don't tell you how long it will take
their software to crack your password if it is even moderately strong. Terry
pretty much has it right. Password protection on forms is easily overcome,
but for documents that are encrypted, Internet software is pretty much a
waste of time/money.

So he recommends hypnosis or truth serum? Why not tea leaves or a ouija
board as well? I'll concede your points have merit, but wise guy responses
to requests for help serve no purpose I can see. There are ways around
revealing CC numbers as well, if that concerns him.

CC numbers may interest me if I knew what they were?

As Suzanne says, PW crackers are a waste of money/time. And the better the
password you use (such as a totally random 12-character password) , the
longer the crackers take to work because they use brute force - perhaps
months before it finds the key.

Hypnosis would be far better value
