Comodo IceDragon Browser Password Secrets

Comodo IceDragon browser saves all your website login passwords at following location

[Windows Vista/7/8/10]
C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\Comodo\IceDragon\Profiles\[random name].default\



[Windows XP/2003] 
C:\Documents and Settings\[user_name]\Application Data\Comodo\IceDragon\Profiles\[random name].default\

Comodo IceDragon stores all the website logins in JSON format in a ‘logins.json’ file

Here is the sample of one of the website entry from this file,

{
"id":1,
"hostname":"https://accounts.google.com",
"formSubmitURL":"https://accounts.google.com",
"usernameField":"user",
"passwordField":"pwd",
"encryptedUsername":"MDIEEPgBBBCABBBEwFAYIbaZIhvcNAwcEaAFsqdqBAiJyHK56O9cid==",
"encryptedPassword":"MDoEEPgBCCCBAAAAAAEwFCDIKoZIBAtABCG4rNAexni08zRm4Sraz/",
"encType":1,
"timesUsed":1
},

Here formSubmitURL, encryptedUsername and encryptedPassword refers to website login link, encrypted username and encrypted password respectively.

Comodo IceDragon uses Triple DES and SHA1 algorithm to encrypt both username & password. After encryption, resulting password is stored in Base64 format in the above file.

Comodo IceDragon Browser Master Password

Comodo IceDragon also allows you to set Master Password to prevent others from stealing your website passwords. If the master password is set then without it website passwords cannot be decrypted.

To make it further secure, Comodo IceDragon encrypts master password using one way hash algorithm. That means it cannot be decrypted instantly and only way to recover it using brute-force method which may take years based on length and complexity of master password.

Comodo IceDragon stores master password details in files called key4.db and cert9.db in the same profile folder as above. Older version used filenames called key3.db and cert8.db.
