ow to Recover Saved Passwords in Yandex Browser (Step-by-Step Guide)

In this guide, you will learn where Yandex browser saves your passwords, how they are secured using encryption, and the easiest way to recover them instantly.

Yandex Browser Password Storage Location

Yandex browser stores all your website login credentials in a file named “Ya Passman Data”, located at:

C:\Users\[user_name]\AppData\Local\Yandex\YandexBrowser\User Data\Default\Ya Passman Data

This file is a SQLite database containing a table called “logins”, where all saved credentials are 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 Yandex Browser Encrypts Passwords

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

Older Versions

• Passwords were encrypted using Windows DPAPI
• Can be decrypted using system APIs like CryptUnprotectData

Newer Versions

Passwords are encrypted using a master encryption key stored in the “Local State” file:

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

The master key is stored in value called “encrypted_key” in Base64 format and protected using Windows DPAPI

Final master key (32 bytes) along with another yandex key (‘local_encryptor_data’) is used to decrypt saved passwords using AES-256-GCM algorithm.

Important Note: Since Yandex browser uses user-specific 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).
