Description =========== 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. You can select one or more items and then save them into text/html/xml file or copy them to the clipboard.

Versions History ================ * Version 1.22: o Fixed bug: ChromePass failed to read the password file if the file path contained non-English characters. * Version 1.21: o Added support for Chrome Canary. * Version 1.20: o Fixed ChromePass to work properly when the password file is locked by Chrome. * Version 1.16: o Added an option to export the passwords into KeePass csv file (In 'Save Selected Items'). You can use the created csv file to easily import your Web site passwords into KeePass password manager. o Fixed issue: removed the wrong encoding from the xml string, which caused problems to some xml viewers. * Version 1.15: Added 'Password Strength' column, which calculates the strength of the password and displays it as Very Weak, Weak, Medium, Strong, or Very Strong. * Version 1.10: Fixed ChromePass to work with the latest versions of Chrome. * Version 1.05: Added support for recovering Chrome passwords from external drive. (In Advanced Options) * Version 1.00: First release.

Using ChromePass ================ ChromePass doesn't require any installation process or additional DLL files. In order to start using ChromePass, simply run the executable file

- ChromePass.exe After running it, the main window will display all passwords that are currently stored in your Google Chrome browser.

Reading ChromePass passwords from external drive ================================================ Starting from version 1.05, you can also read the passwords stored by Chrome Web browser from an external profile in your current operating system or from another external drive (For example: from a dead system that cannot boot anymore). In order to use this feature, you must know the last logged-on password used for this profile, because the passwords are encrypted with the SHA hash of the log-on password, and without that hash, the passwords cannot be decrypted. You can use this feature from the UI, by selecting the 'Advanced Options' in the File menu, or from command-line, by using /external parameter. The user profile path should be something like "C:\Documents and Settings\admin" in Windows XP/2003 or "C:\users\myuser" in Windows Vista/2008.

Command-Line Options ====================

/stext <Filename> Save the list of passwords into a regular text file. /stab <Filename> Save the list of passwords into a tab-delimited text file. /scomma <Filename> Save the list of passwords into a comma-delimited text file. /stabular <Filename> Save the list of passwords into a tabular text file. /shtml <Filename> Save the list of passwords into HTML file (Horizontal). /sverhtml <Filename> Save the list of passwords into HTML file (Vertical). /sxml <Filename> Save the list of passwords to XML file. /skeepass <Filename> Save the list of passwords to KeePass csv file. /external <User Profile Path> <Last Log-On Password> Load the Chrome passwords from external drive/profile.
