About Google Chrome and its Password Manager

Internals of Chrome Password Decryptor

Chrome stores all the sign-on secrets into the internal database file called 'Web data' in the current user profile folder. Newer version has moved the login passwords related database into new file named 'Login Data'. 

This database file is in SQLite format and contains number of tables storing different kind of data such as auto complete, search keyword, ie7logins etc in addition to login secrets.

The logins table mainly contains the information about sign-on secrets such as website URL, username, password fields etc. All this information is stored in the clear text except passwords which are in encrypted format. 

ChromePasswordDecryptor loads the secrets from logins table and then decrypts the password for each of the websites stored by Chrome.
