Anyone know where does Chrome keeps the passwords for sites?

Using Chrome, Chromium and Iron; Use Chrome mainly for surfing and want to copy the sites with passwords to Chromium and Iron. tia

From what I've read they are saved on your system in an encrypted database that cannot be transferred (as a security feature). Take a read here: http://www.switchonthecode.com/tutor...ores-passwords

You got me curious, so I've been poking around. I moved the "Web Data" folder located in C:\Users\<users>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default to a separate location and reloaded Chrome. It does appear to contain all of my saved passwords. However if I copy that file to another computer and load up chrome, it only remembers my usernames and not my passwords. I assume this is do to the encryption method used.

thanks

going to try to copy Web Data to Iron and see how it goes

EDIT

it's working :-)

I copied Web Data from
C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default to
C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Desktop\IronPortable\Profile\Default

Both username and password are auto filled

Glad it worked for you

Sulasno: you might have a look at this:

ChromePass is a small password recovery tool that allows you to view the user names and passwords stored by Google Chrome Web browser. For each password entry, the following information is displayed: Origin URL, Action URL, User Name Field, Password Field, User Name, Password, and Created Time.
