How to Recover Saved Passwords in Avant Browser

In this article, you’ll learn where Avant browser stores your passwords, how they are protected, and how you can easily recover them.
Avant Browser Password Secrets
Avant browser saves all your website login passwords in file called “forms.dat” at following location
[Windows Vista/7/8/10] C:\Users\[user_name]\Appdata\Roaming\Avant Profiles\.default\formdata\ [Windows XP/2003] C:\Documents and Settings\[user_name]\Application Data\Avant Profiles\.default\Formdata\
Avant browser encrypts this “forms.dat” file using AES-ECB algorithm with static magic key. On decryption, you will get ZIP file. Upon unzipping it, you will get final “forms.dat” file in XML format.
Here is the sample of this XML file,
<?xml version="1.0"> <_forms> <_folder _title="AutoFill_Folder"/> <_link _title="www.facebook.com" _url_v2="https://www.facebook.com/login/" _created="1550523491" _visited="1550523491"> <![CDATA[text user xenuser password passwd facebookpass123 checkbox rem * ]]> </_link> </_forms>
This file contains separate section named “<_link>” for each of the stored website logins. It contains website link, username & passwords in clear text as shown above.
