[APP] Edit Browser Saved Username and Passwords (root only!)

Abomb · May 7, 2012

Hi,

I can hardly believe that there is not already an app like this that allows you to edit the saved usernames and passwords for the stock (and other) browsers.
The only thing you can do from the browser is delete all saved usernames/passwords.
With this app you can view and edit all saved credentials for each website.
Of course this requires root.

This is still very much in beta, I have only tested this on my Galaxy Nexus with CM9 (Android 4.0.3). The UI is also a work in progress, so it's still very ugly looking.
Before using this app consider making a backup of the browser data.

External Storage permission is for export of data as csv.

Please post suggestions / bugs / etc!

Regards

Abomb

any chance to add support for more browsers? it's really just a matter of changing the package name for most browsers as they use the same format. e.g. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.beansoft.browserplus https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.virifi.android.quickbrowser (and their pro/donate versions)

sure, I'll look into it!

This is really neat but I'm surprised our passwords aren't encrypted and blocked.

Abomb · May 9, 2012

The stock browser actually saves the saved passwords in plaintext. Of course, if you're not rooted you (and other apps) have no way of getting access to those files containing the passwords, so as a normal user you're save.

they can't be encrypted unless you want to enter a master-password every time you store/access a saved password

Added support for Skyfire, Dolphin HD and Dolphin Mini.

could you please implement the root functionality in a way that the app doesn't ask for root 3 times and is not remembered by superuser?

here's a nice icon you could use, it's free to use: http://openclipart.org/detail/3330/key-by-barretr

The app has to ask for root for every browser where it has to get the usernames/passwords from - but superuser should remember root access, at least it does for me. I will investigate what could be the cause of that problem.

And thank you very much for the icon link, the app will have a nice icon in the next release! =)

Nice

Can you add support for those Opera Mobile, Opera Mini Browsers and Maxthon? Thanks in advance

other root apps only have to ask once. I guess it's related to how you implemented these root-requiring commands

Opera browsers will require a completly different password retrieval code as those don't use sqlite but Operas own format (for which the source for reading exists).

Yeah Maxthon will be no problem, but Opera is harder. Do you by any chance have a link or something where I can find more info about where Opera saves passwords etc?

but imho it really doesn't belong into this app as it's completly different code

I've searched a little bit about Opera and it's password security. And I found out, that the passwords are stored in the 'wand.dat' file (for PC version and both Android versions). I think the PC and Android versions are using the same encryption/decryption routine.
In android the file is located under: "/data/data/com.opera.browser/opera/secure/wand.dat"

So here are some usefull links (I hope they're usefull for you):

thanks for the help, I will have a look at it later today

Edit: I think I can read and write the usernames and passwords on opera mini. opera mobile I'm not sure about, I think I'll be able to read the data at least, but not sure about writing.

Edit2: Maxthon is now supported, Opera Mini only readonly for now. Import/export and save for Opera Mini will follow soon.
