MS Edge Question
How do you extract the passwords from Microsoft Edge. I've run as Admin with all -vv an browsers -vv and nothing. see attached files. What is the proper command, Please.
MS Edge uses DPAPI as a password storage.
You should to know user's password to retrieve the password from DPAPI. LaZagne is able accept password as a command line parameter.
tried adding the password, no go i just don't understand Thanks for trying to help. you can close

MS edge is chromium based browser. As it shown in your L-All.txt on line 216 it is unable to use module ChromiumBased because you have not installed module pycryptodome. Run pip install -r requirements.txt and enjoy LaZagne :)
Excuse me, please. I was wrong in the previous comment. As far as I understand, there is no need to know password to retrieve data from DPAPI for current user.
Also. I have set up the following environment:
- Windows 10
- Microsoft Edge version 136.0.3240.50 (latest for now)
And LaZagne successfully extracted saved password with command python LaZagne.py (i.e. with no parameters).
Will try this when i get a chance, thank you for the help. just one question: How do you do this when using the .EXE?
un installed an started from scratch (see attached) no go must be a problem with Windows 11 Sorry for all the trouble
