System Requirements And Limitations

• This utility works on any version of Windows, starting from Windows 2000, and up to Windows 10, including 64-bit systems. Older versions of Windows (Windows 98/ME) are not supported, because this utility is a Unicode application.
• Currently, WebBrowserPassView cannot retrieve passwords from Firefox 64-bit (64-bit version of Firefox is now installed by default in 64-bit systems). Until this issue is fixed, you can use PasswordFox 64-bit instead.
• Currently, WebBrowserPassView cannot retrieve passwords from external hard-drive. Support for that might be added in future versions.
• On Internet Explorer 7.0-9.0, the passwords are encrypted with the URL of the Web site, so WebBrowserPassView uses the history file of Internet Explorer to decrypt the passwords. If you clear the history of Internet Explorer, WebBrowserPassView won't be able to decrypt the passwords.
• On Google Chrome - passwords originally imported from Internet Explorer 7.0-9.0, cannot be decrypted.
