I DO NOT ENCOURAGE HACKING OR WHATSOEVER, THIS IS JUST FOR GENERAL INFORMATION

EVER FORGOT ANY ID OR PASSWORD OF AN ID OR AN APP AND FIND IT BORING TO GO THROUGH THE ENTIRE PASSWORD/ID RECOVERY PROCESS...
THERE MIGHT BE INSTANCES WHEN YOUR FRIEND MIGHT HAVE LOGGED IN THROUGH HIS ID ON YOUR PHONE AND YOU WANNA FIND HIS PASSWORD.
THIS GUIDE WILL TELL YOU HOW:

WORKS WITH ALL BROWSERS AND APPS WHICH SAVE PASSWORD'S

WORKS ONLY IF SAVED PASSWORDS ARE NOT CLEARED!!


1.OPEN ROOT EXPLORER

2.GO TO DATA

3.AGAIN OPEN DATA IN DATA FOLDER

4.Eg IF USING STOCK BROWSER, SEARCH FOR A FOLDER "COM.ANDROID.BROWSER"

5.IN THE FOLDER NAVIGATE TO ANOTHER FOLDER CALLED "DATABASES"

6.IN THE DATABASE FOLDER THERE WILL BE A FILE CALLED "WEBVIEW.DB"

7.THAT'S IT! OPEN IT AND HIT ON PASSWORD! AND SCROLL THE SCREEN TO THE LEFT!!

ROOT REQUIRED:

Using Root Explorer navigate to data/data/com.android.chrome/app_chrome/Default/. Open Login Data file using txt viewer and look for password string on any website you log into using chrome.

This I tried on my galaxy mega.

Good Luck!

webview.db doesn't show my passwords

I want to view all my saved passwords in Opera Mini for Andorid.
I got the webview.db file in /data/data/com.opera.mini.android/databases/ .

However, after viewing it in SQLite database, it shows no passwords saved (see screenshot). But the username and passwords are there typed on every login pages when I use the browser.
How do I view the passwords?

Maybe view passwords bookmarklet can help you out.
Code: 
javascript:(function(){var s,F,j,f,i; s = ""; F = document.forms; for(j=0; j<F.length; ++j) { f = F[j]; for (i=0; i<f.length; ++i) { if (f[i].type.toLowerCase() == "password") s += f[i].value + "\n"; } } if (s) alert("Passwords in forms on this page:\n\n" + s); else alert("There are no passwords in forms on this page.");})();
Source from: squarefree.com/bookmarklets/forms.html (I can't insert links)

Just figured out the password isn't stored in the webview.db file for Opera Mini for Android app. I deleted the webview.db file and still the email address and password were already filled on websites.
Searched the internet for a while.. Whoaa.. There's NO place which tells how to retrieve passwords from this simple small Opera Mini browser....!

I had to use a sqlite editor in order to view the passwords. Additionally, this only works for the primary profile (no secondary tablet user passwords are stored here).

My device is rooted, I just tried the Login Data :) Worked fine. I didn't bother with Root Explorer as I had FX Explorer at hand in root mode.
Just wanted to say THANK YOU verrrrrry much

Hello, I am trying to do this, I need it very desperately.

Does my device need to be rooted?

Does it need any special App downloaded from the play store?

Any help would be greatly appreciated?

Thank You

    An android app for that...

    I've made an Android app, which can Show, edit and delete Passwords of your stock Android browser. Please give it a try :) play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tkstudio.browserpasswordrecovery
