How can I export the user names and passwords stored in Firefox Quantum? Firefox offers to store the passwords and then auto-fill the login forms whenever you access a specific website. It seems that the passwords are no longer needed, but anyway, the moment will come when you need to reinstall Windows or export the passwords to a new computer. In this tutorial we’ll show you a simple way to recover or export passwords from Firefox Quantum.<\/p>\n

Starting from Firefox 57 Quantum, your passwords are stored in the key4.db<\/em> and logins.json<\/em> files and the old Firefox password exporter add-ons doesn’t work any longer. But you can still rescue your saved passwords with the third-party software – Firefox Password Recovery<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It displays a list of supported applications you can recover passwords from. Just select the “Recover Firefox Password<\/strong>” option.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The program will locate all profiles for your current Firefox installation and decrypt the stored passwords. If one of your Firefox profiles is secured with a master password, the following pop-up will appear and you have to enter the master password.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Just about a few seconds later, you’ll see all passwords saved in Firefox Quantum along with username and URL.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now, you can export \/ save the list of passwords to a plain text file.<\/p>\n

Part 2: Recover Passwords from Old Firefox Profile<\/strong><\/p>\n

You’ll see the following pop-up window. Click on Browse<\/strong> to locate your old Firefox profile folder<\/a> and click OK<\/strong>. By default, the profile is in this location: C:\\Users\\{Windows_account_name}\\AppData\\Roaming\\Mozilla\\Firefox\\Profiles<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

All your Firefox saved passwords will be shown immediately. If your Firefox profile is protected using master password, you’ll be prompted to enter it first.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
