They’re stored in the web browser, in the settings/passwords. The last thing anyone wants to do is to take a computer to a shop to retrieve passwords, it would be wise to scraping them and starting over instead.

The last thing anyone wants to do is to take a computer to a shop to retrieve passwords, Yes the passwords might be stored in the web browser and there are programs that can recover those. It would indeed be unwise to let a computer shop recover passwords unless you could sit there and watch them like a hawk but even that is no guarantee that they could not steal your passwords https://www.thewindowsclub.com/free-password-recovery-tools

October 15, 2025Oct 15 I highly recommend Bitwarden. Only one master password to remember, so you can make it as obscure and long as you like.
October 18, 2025Oct 18 Popular Post Most things that need a password have the option to make a new one if you forgot it.
October 18, 2025Oct 18 I have have a PASSWORD BOOK - my address book with extra pages, for around 30 years. Website and passwords, that are long gone, are still in my book.

If you're using Chrome call up the Password Manager chrome://password-manager/passwords In Edge it's the Microsoft Password Manager edge://settings/autofill/passwords

If not, and he can open the browser, then he can still open the relevant password manager. If he has, then, yes you're correct. It is not my friend in trouble. Even if you are signed into a browser, you may have to provide the password again to access the password manager. The OP said "all passwords", some passwords should be kept separate otherwise a recovery tool may be the only option.
October 18, 2025Oct 18 If it's a PC, the shop that was suggested behind Tukcom in Pattaya can probably get your data recovered. If it's not a PC, they may struggle with the OS, as they couldn't even connect my laptop to a new router. However, once you go Mac, you never go back. iCloud takes care of that PW safekeeping.

The OP said "all passwords", some passwords should be kept separate otherwise a recovery tool may be the only option. Sorry - misread the first bit. The operative word is "may" - sometimes you can open a browser without a password - depends how it was set up in the first place. Worth a try if the OP hasn't. And yes - i agree - it's worth keeping independent, secure records of such important data.
October 18, 2025Oct 18 It's very unclear. What do you mean, lost his passwords? Can't open browser? Forgot password to password manager? Can't use passwords stored in some/which browser? Etc.
October 18, 2025Oct 18 Reminds me of the time i took my debit card to be scanned at some random Patong shop.
October 19, 2025Oct 19 There is a growing industry in Password Manager Apps, some are chargeable, most are free. As described above the advantage is you only need to remember 1 password to access your Password Database. Use to work in Finance a number of years ago, and KeePass was the Windows solution that passed our security checks. They now offer the App on Android, however I found when closing the App it still kept the database file connection open, so re-starting the App took you straight in, rather than prompt for the Master Password. So deleted the Android App, but for backup purposes keep a copy of the Windows Database file on my mobiles. It uses a 256-AES encryption key, so it's Government, Military, Large Scale Enterprise, incl Finnance approved. https://keepass.info/ L
