About

A Python script to dump contents of a .kwl kwallet file for accessing passwords away from KDE desktop. Should work on wallets created on KDE 4 (written on KDE 4.10).

The output is not polished because it serves a simple utility - to get passwords when not around a KDE desktop. Pipe the output to grep to make it more usable.

If you are looking to get Chrome passwords out of this - it’ll be a bit difficult because Chrome stores the passwords in a serialized blob and you’ll have to decipher that format. For everything else - Firefox, Telepathy, Amarok, Wifi passwords, other apps which store passwords - it works perfectly fine.

Install

Easiest way to install is to use pip which will fetch the dependencies automatically

pip install kwallet-dump
