Find Passwords Hidden In Browser With WebBrowserPassView

If you have your browser set to save passwords, then it's possible to go into that browsers settings to retrieve them. It can be a pain if you have more than one browser like I have. So I recommend a free program called WebBrowserPassView from www.nirsoft.net/utils/web_browser_password.html

I've used this in the pass before and wasn't even sure if it would work on modern systems, so I downloaded the latest version and gave it a try.

Go to the site and scroll down to almost the bottom of the page and look for Download WebBrowserPassView (In zip file). Also take notice of the password. I don't know if they change this anytime, but at the time of this writing its wbpv28821@

Decompress the file and put in password when prompted.

There is no install. Then just go to the folder and right-click on the WebBrowserPassView.exe and click on Run as administrator. You might not see any results if you don't do this.

It should automatically start scanning your system, looking for your browsers and displaying any saved passwords within.

You can save a complete list if you want by going to View, top menu, then HTML Report - either all or just selected passwords. Your choice.
