To recover your saved passwords from Torch Browser, you can view them directly through the browser settings, reveal them using the web inspector, or extract them via specialized recovery tools. Because Torch is built on the open-source Chromium platform, its internal management operates almost identically to Google Chrome. 💻 Method 1: Use Torch Settings (Built-in Manager)
The easiest way to recover your passwords is by using Torch’s native password manager menu.
Open Torch Settings: Click the three vertical dots (or Torch menu icon) in the top-right corner.
Access Password Manager: Click on Settings, navigate to Autofill and passwords, and select Password Manager.
Reveal Your Password: Scroll through the list of websites to find your account. Click the Eye icon next to the specific password.
Authenticate: When prompted by your operating system, enter your Windows or Mac user password to instantly reveal the hidden text.
🔍 Method 2: Reveal Behind Asterisks (Developer Tool Method)
If you are logged into a website and Torch has autofilled your password as dots/asterisks (••••••••), you can unmask it manually without digging through settings.
Go to the Login Page: Open the website where your password is automatically filled.
Inspect the Password Field: Right-click directly inside the password box and select Inspect or Inspect Element. Alternatively, press F12.
Change the Code: In the developer panel that appears, look for the highlighted line of HTML code. Find the attribute that says type=“password”.
Flip to Text: Double-click the word “password”, type “text” instead, and press Enter. The hidden dots on your screen will immediately transform into readable plain text. 🛠️ Method 3: Use Local Profile Decryption Tools
If Torch is crashing or you cannot open the browser interface, your passwords are still physically saved on your hard drive in an encrypted database file named Login Data.
The Local File Path: On Windows, you can find this database by navigating to:C:\Users<Your_Username>\AppData\Local\Torch\User Data\Default</code>
Third-Party Recovery: Because the data is locked with system-level encryption, you cannot read it with a basic text editor. Dedicated utilities like XenArmor Torch Browser Password Recovery or SecurityXploded Torch Password Recovery can scan this directory, automatically decrypt the file, and export your complete credentials list to a text file or spreadsheet. If you’d like to narrow down these options, let me know:
Are you currently able to open the Torch Browser application?
Do you have a Windows login password set up on your machine?
Are you looking to export all your passwords to move to a new browser?
I can provide step-by-step guidance tailored exactly to what you need next!
