Recovering Netscape Navigator encrypted passwords
I am not aware of any currently existing software to decrypt Netscape Navigator encrypted passwords.
Known weaknesses in the password encryption system of Netscape Mail lead me to believe that an application of this nature could be created, and simply has yet to be written.
I’m using Paranotic Password Manager – really very useful. Portable version, click-to-copy passwords, logins and ect. Daily backup data – you allways can restore your data file if you lost it. Recommend!
