How it Works?

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.

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

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

IE v10.x-v11.x (Windows 8/Windows 10) onwards stores the passwords in Windows Vault or Credential Manager.

IE Password Decryptor automatically detects the IE version and correspondingly decrypt the username/passwords from the appropriate secret store.
