Description
Note for Developers:
This tool does not dump or extract saved passwords from Google Chrome.
Starting with recent Chrome updates, Google has significantly tightened its password storage security. The saved passwords are now encrypted using OS-level APIs (like Windows DPAPI tied to the user account or macOS Keychain), and Chrome has restricted access to the internal Login Data database.
Attempts to read or decrypt this data programmatically will fail unless running in the context of the authorized user with proper system-level permissions. Additionally, Chrome may use profile-bound encryption keys that further prevent extraction by external tools.
Please restore the tool to its previous state, which was used to extract active cookies and retrieve saved passwords. Please focus on implementing process injections, as the ChromeKatz tool does.
In summary, due to enhanced browser protection and encryption mechanisms, password dumping is no longer feasible through typical means.
