How to Recover Saved Passwords in Tor Browser

In this article, you’ll learn where Tor browser stores your passwords, how they are protected, and how you can easily recover them.

Tor Browser Password Secrets

Tor browser saves all your website logins at following location

[Windows Vista/7/8/10]
C:\Users\[user_name]\Desktop\Tor Browser\Browser\Torbrowser\Data\Browser\profile.default\

[Windows XP/2003] 
C:\Documents and Settings\[user_name]\Desktop\Tor Browser\Browser\Torbrowser\Data\Browser\profile.default\

Tor browser stores all the website login passwords in ‘logins.json’ file in JSON format.

Here is sample of one of the website entry,

{
"id":1,
"hostname":"https://accounts.google.com",
"httpRealm":null,
"formSubmitURL":"https://accounts.google.com",
"usernameField":"user",
"passwordField":"pwd",
"encryptedUsername":"MDIEEPgBBBBABBBEwFAYIbaZIhvcNAwcEaAFsqdqBAiJyHK56O9cid==",
"encryptedPassword":"MDoEEPgBCCCCAAAAAAEwFCDIKoZIBAtABCG4rNAexni08zRm4Sraz/",
"guid":"{46cfe997-9043-40e8-8207-6d6cf222bcb4}",
"encType":1,
"timeCreated":1304064618760,
"timesUsed":25
},

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

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

Tor Browser Master Password

Tor also allows you to set Master Password to prevent others from stealing your website passwords.

To make it further secure, Tor 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.

Tor stores master password details in files called key4.db and cert9.db in the same profile folder as above.
