chromium_decode is a quick hack for Chromium
to dump the login credentials stored in .config/chromium/Default/Login Data.
> chromium_decode <path/Login Data>
site: https://example.com
user: me
pass: secret
...Be aware that Chromium already has an import/export mechanism for login credentials. This tool might come in handy when you need to recover the data from a backup because your SSD spontaneously shredded all the data... 😞
- Only applicable if Chromium used its default password (
peanuts) to store the credentials. - Only tested on Linux.
- Not tested with non-ASCII characters.
