Where are Google Chrome passwords stored?

Question

Information Security

I am writing a styler for myself (for informational purposes) and just to understand how it works, I found the Login Data, but when I open it, the database is empty, why? And is there a way to find out passwords from a file for Google Chrome

Answer 1

Login Data is a regular Sqlite3 database file that opens without problems. The password is stored there in encrypted form. Before version 80, it was simply encrypted with DPAPI (that is, it could only be decrypted under the Windows account under which it was saved). Now the algorithm has changed a bit (GitHub is full of examples), but the meaning is the same.
So almost all Chrome-like browsers. Yandex.Browser has its own storage algorithm and cannot be decrypted in a similar way.
