Then main question arises where it stored the password. Let's find out. Chrome Passwords are stored in a SQLite file. The sites name and sites username is in the clear text but the password is seeded in a Triple DES Algorithm. The file is called Web Data and stored in the following location. If you using XP then go to C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default
Vista or Windows 7 users - C\Users\Username\Appdata\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default
How can you know the file is in SQLite?
- Just go to the above path of related users.
- Select a file and open the notepad.
- Drag and drop the selected file to the notepad.
- See in the first line.
- Find out the README file there and read it.
