The solution to ORA-28040 in PL/SQL developer is to replace the old OCI with a newer one. First of all, you have to download an Oracle instant client which contains corresponding OCI library. The proper version should be at least 11g.

Download below highlighted latest version OCI package & set path accordingly into your PL/SQL developer.
In our case, you downloaded and unzipped a basic package of Oracle instant client for windows 32-bit, the filename is instantclient-basic-nt-11.2.0.4.0.zip for instance.
Please make sure that at least Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Redistributable has been installed in your machine before using Oracle instant client 11.2.
