This research article shows you all password secrets of UC browser including where all your website passwords are stored, how it is stored and how to recover it automatically.

UC Browser Password Secrets

UC browser stores all your website login passwords in the “UC Login Data” file at following location

[Windows Vista/7/8/10]
C:\Users\[user_name]\AppData\Local\UCBrowser\User Data_i18n\Default\

[Windows XP/2003] 
C:\Documents and Settings\[user_name]\Local Settings\Application Data\UCBrowser\User Data_i18n\Default\

This “UC Login Data” file is stored in SQLite database format. It contains database table called “wow_logins” where each website login details are stored.

Here are some of the interesting fields stored in this table,

origin_url - main link of the website
action_url - login link of the website
username_element - name of the username field in the website
username_value - username used for login
password_element - name of the password field in the website
password_value - password used for login (encrypted)

Here action_url, username_value and password_value refers to website login link, username and encrypted password respectively.

UC browser encrypts the website password using Windows DPAPI (Data Protection API) functions.

These DPAPI functions perform encryption of password using user and machine specific data. As a result encrypted password cannot be decrypted by another user or another computer.

Hence UC browser password recovery has to be performed on the same computer as same user.

How to Decrypt UC Browser Passwords

UC uses Windows DPAPI function, CryptProtectData to encrypt the website password. We can decrypt this password using the function called CryptUnprotectData.

Here is the sample C++ program to decrypt the UC website password.

void DecryptPassword(char *passData, int passLen, char *password, int length)
{
	DATA_BLOB DataPassword;
	DATA_BLOB DataOutput;
	
	DataPassword.cbData = passLen;
	DataPassword.pbData = (BYTE *) passData;

	if( CryptUnprotectData(&DataPassword, NULL, 0, 0, 0, 0, &DataOutput) == FALSE )
	{
		printf("CryptUnprotectData failed with error 0x%.8x", GetLastError());
		return;
	}

	memcpy(password, DataOutput.pbData, DataOutput.cbData);
	password[DataOutput.cbData] = 0;
	
	
	printf("Successfully Decrypted Password is %s ", password);

}
