Chrome Password Recovery Tool


ChromePass is a portable application that has been created by one of our favorite software developers Nirsoft. Its purpose is to provide the means to recover passwords that have been saved in the Chrome web browser. Chrome, like most web browsers, provides the means to store login information to access websites faster on consecutive visits.

ChromPass can be started from any location including removable drives which makes it an excellent password recovery tool. It will automatically fetch the information upon startup and display them in a list. Included in these information are the username, password, url and even the time the entry has been created.

The login details can be exported in various formats including html, csv or xml file.

The password recovery tool comes with an additional option to load the passwords from another user of the local computer, the logon password has to be supplied though to make this possible. One of the greatest security weaknesses is the lack of a master password. It would be impossible to use a tool like ChromePass if a master password would have been set.
