Thunderbird uses same mechanism as Firefox (as explained in
FirePasswordViewer) to store its email account passwords
securely. The passwords are stored in the file called 'signons.sqlite' at its profile location. Default
profile location for different platforms is as follows,
|
|
[Windows XP]
C:\Documents and
Settings\<user_name>\Application
Data\Thunderbird\Profiles\<random_name>.default
[Windows Vista &
Windows 7/8/10]
C:\Users\<user_name>\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\<random_name>.default |
|
|
|
|
| The password file is stored in SQLite database format as in the case
of Firefox. It contains many tables pertaining to various account
configuration of Thunderbird, but the account password details are
stored in 'moz_logins' table as shown in the screenshot below (using the
SQLite Database Browser Tool) |
|
 |
|
| Here are more details about important fields of 'moz_logins' table |
-
table - moz_logins
- id - index of each entry
- hostname - Mail Server URL
- encryptedUsername - encrypted username
- encryptedPassword - encrypted password
- guid - unique GUID for each entry
- encType - value 1 indicates encrypted
|
|
Now once the encrypted username and password values are extracted from
above database file, ThunderbirdPassDecryptor decrypts them
instantly using base64 decoding followed by 3DES algorithm.
Information required to decrypt these contents are stored in key3.db file including the master
password details. If the master password is set, then you must
provide the master password for successful decryption.
If you have
forgotten the master password, then you can use Firemaster tool to
recover the master password.
