Like most browsers, Internet Explorer also has the single sign-on
feature which stores the username/password for already authenticated
websites. Whenever user login to any website, IE prompts the user
for consent to store the password for future use. If user
acknowledges then username/password along with website link will be
stored in IE secret store. So the next time onwards whenever user
visits the same website, IE automatically populates the
username/password field from its store thus preventing user from
entering credentials every time.
Internet Explorer stores two type of passwords, Autocomplete and
HTTP basic authentication based passwords. Autocomplete passwords
are normal website login passwords such as email, forum websites.
HTTP basic authentication password is the one which is required to
login to website itself. As soon as user tries to access the
website, IE prompts with login dialog box asking for
username/password. Generally proxy servers and router/modem
configuration websites uses these kind of authentication mechanism.
|
| |
Internet Explorer below version 7
stores both Autocomplete and HTTP
basic authentication passwords in the secure location known as 'Protected Storage'. Windows has introduced 'Protected Storage' to allow
applications such as IE, Outlook to store the secrets securely in an
encrypted format. Below is the registry location corresponding to the
'Protected Storage'.
|
|
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Protected Storage System Provider
|
|
With version 7 onwards IE has changed the location of password store
to provide better security mechanism compared to existing 'Protected
Storage'. Now IE stores all the Autocomplete passwords in below
mentioned registry location in an encrypted format. |
|
| HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\IntelliForms\Storage2 |
|
Here is the screenshot of typical entries stored at this location
|
|
 |
Here each entry corresponds to a hash of the website for which
username/password has been stored. So one must know the website login
link to recover the password. In order to solve this problem,
IEPasswordDecryptor uses the website list from the IE history and
verifies if any of them matches with stored hash entry. So if a
website link is not present in the IE history then the password for such
stored website entry cannot be recovered. In such case you can use 'Add
Website' option of IEPasswordDecryptor to add the website link to
existing IE history as shown in the Screenshot 3 below. |
|
The HTTP basic authentication passwords are stored in the 'Credentials
store'. The 'Credentials Store' is newly introduced secret store
mechanism by Windows and it is generally used to store the network login
passwords. Its location is given below.
|
|
[Windows XP]
C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application
Data\Microsoft\Credentials
[Windows Vista\Windows 7]
C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Credentials |
| |
IEPasswordDecryptor automatically detects the IE version and
correspondingly decrypt the username/passwords from the appropriate
secret store.

IE store read the article on
