How to Recover Saved Passwords in Wavebox Browser (Step-by-Step Guide)

In this guide, you will discover where Wavebox browser stores your saved passwords, how they are protected using strong encryption, and the easiest way to recover them instantly when needed.

Wavebox Browser Password Storage Location

Wavebox browser stores all your website login credentials in a file named “Login Data”, located at:

C:\Users\[user_name]\AppData\Local\WaveboxApp\User Data\Default\Login Data

This file is a SQLite database containing a table called “logins”, where all saved credentials are securely stored.

Important Fields in “logins” Table

  • origin_url => Website Page URL
  • signon_realm => Website Domain
  • username_value => Username or Email
  • password_value => Encrypted Password

How Wavebox Browser Encrypts Passwords

Wavebox browser is a Chromium-based browser and follows a similar encryption model used by Chrome, Edge, Brave browser etc.

Older versions (below v80) encrypt passwords using Windows DPAPI, which can be decrypted via system APIs like CryptUnprotectData.

Newer versions (v80 and above) use a master encryption key stored in the “Local State” file:

C:\Users\[user_name]\AppData\Local\WaveboxApp\User Data\Local State

Encryption Key Details

  • Older versions (< v135): encrypted_key
  • Newer versions (> v135): app_bound_encrypted_key

The master key is stored in Base64 format and protected using Windows DPAPI along with modern encryption algorithms.

  • AES-GCM
  • ChaCha20
  • AES+CNG (based on browser version)

Multi-Level Process to Decrypt Master Key

  • Decode Base64 key
  • Decrypt using System DPAPI
  • Decrypt again using User DPAPI
  • If not 32 bytes, decrypt further using AES-GCM, ChaCha20 or AES+CNG (v140+)

Final master key (32 bytes) is used to decrypt saved passwords using AES-256-GCM algorithm.

Important Note: Since Wavebox browser uses user-specific and machine-bound encryption, saved passwords cannot be decrypted from another user account or external drive unless advanced recovery methods are used (see solution at the end of this post).
