Hi guys , in this post i am going to explain about how to recover passwords stored in firefox. Firepassword is a console based tool which allows you to recover logininfo from the firefox browser.The firepassword automatically discovers where the firefox stores the passwords in the computer and recovers it.
Basically firefox stores the password in a encrypted form in files names key3.db and signons.txt.
The signons.txt remembers the what all sites have opted for storing the passwords and those who have not accepted to store.
The key3.db contains info about how can we go on to decrypt the encrypted passwords.
Installing firepassword is very simple and you can install it just as any other application
Here's how it works . Since i have already mentioned that firepassword is a console based tool, you have to run it from the command prompt.
First after you open the cmd , go to the place where you have installed firepassword.
After going to the folder run the software by typing "FirePassword.exe" .
the command prompt will display all the login info stored .
Sometimes the information could be locked by the master password . If you know the master password already them use the -m option to specify the master password and recover the information .
Or you can use some tools to first decrypt the master password and then enter it here.
You can also save a list of the recovered information by using FirePassword.exe > logininfo.txt.
