Recovering web browser passwords

All popular web browsers offer a password manager option to store usernames and passwords of the visited websites. It is possible to recover these usernames & passwords and in some cases view dates and times when a person registered/logged in with these credentials the first time.

1. Internet Explorer - IE PassView

2. Mozilla Firefox - PasswordFox v1.10

3. Safari – Method applicable to several web browsers

4. Opera – Unwand

5. Google Chrome - ChromePass v1.05

There are some other utilities incl. commercial versions, which I have not tested. The above mentioned tools are free and tested to be working.
