Recover stored usernames/passwords on Opera

This free program will recover the stored usernames and/or passwords stored in the Opera browser.

Description

OperaPassView is a small password recovery tool that decrypts the content of the Opera Web browser password file (wand.dat) and displays the list of all Web site passwords stored in this file. You can easily select one or more passwords in the OperaPassView window, and then copy the passwords list to the clipboard and save it into text/html/csv/xml file.

System Requirements

This utility works on any version of Windows, starting from Windows 2000 and up to Windows 7/2008. You can use this utility even if Opera Web browser is not installed on your system, as long as you have the wand.dat filename.

Known Limitations

  • Currently, OperaPassView cannot decrypt the passwords and they are encrypted by using the master password.

Using OperaPassView

OperaPassView doesn't require any installation process or additional dll files. In order to start using it, simply run the executable file - OperaPassView.exe
After you run OperaPassView, it automatically tries to locate the wand.dat of the current logged-on user and display all Web site passwords stored in this file. You can also manually choose the desired wand.dat filename by using the 'Advanced Options' window (F8) or simply by dragging the wand.dat filename from Explorer into the main window of OperaPassView. When OperaPassView displays the passwords list, you can select one or more of these passwords and then copy them to the clipboard (Ctrl+C) or use the save option (Ctrl+S) for saving them into html/xml/csv/text file.

The utilities "Recover stored/lost passwords" are for password recovery and educational purposes only. They are not intended to be used for illegal purposes.
