Decrypt Advanced auto-populate passwords
« on: September 15, 2010, 06:45:28 AM »
Consider the following use case:

I have a password in a Advanced auto-populate password field (site would not allow to set the pwd generated by PWM)

Now the site have changed the login page, and the password does not autopopulate any longer, so I need to access the Advanced auto-populate password value that I had stored initially. It is encrypted in password.rdf, as it should be.

It would be great to be able to decrypt it with the PWM interface.

Have you been able to decrypt it manually, or do you need help retrieving it?

No I haven't tried. Don't know the encryption algorithm used to produce the RDF data...

are you able to do a password reset with the website in question?

Yes I am but it is a hassle (offline procedure requiring documentary evidence)

To clarify:

this post is a feature request, not a request for assistance! ;)
