<![CDATA[Recover lost passwords from backup]]>Hello.

I have reinstalled my system (Linux Mint 17 64-bit) and I have restored all my settings from the .config folder but my stored passwords are gone.

How can I restore my lost passwords?

I still have a full backup of my old Home folder but I'm not sure which files I need to copy to the new Home folder to recover the stored passwords.

It's under Settings > Basic. It's useful for keeping stuff matched between different machines, and one reason I keep using Opera despite the problems there can be with video codecs.

I know this is an old thread, but it keeps popping up on search engines. This answer works in August 2018, v55.0 under Linux.

  • ~/.kde/share/apps/kwallet/*
  • ~/.kde/share/config/kwallet*

I had to copy the Opera keyring file from ~/.local/share/keyrings to my new Home folder.

  • ~/.config/opera-beta/
  • ~/.local/share/keyrings/

The opera password database is Login\ Data and Login\ Data-journal and may be you use a GNOME keyring oder KDE wallet?

In Windows it is encrypted to the user account, which means if you reformat and do a fresh install it is no longer accessible. (Not the username, so that you can't just create an account with the same name on some other machine to read it.) I haven't heard what they do on Linux but would guess it was similar. If so, the file is now unrecoverable.

Have I lost my passwords permanently?

it's a sqlite 3 file.
