Google Chrome view saved form data
I know how to delete saved form data in Chrome, but I'd like to be able to see all of the entries stored for fields.
When I type a
into a form, I get a list of a few items that I have typed before in that field which begin with a
.
I would like to see a complete list, though.
Solution 1:
Chrome stores that information in a SQLite DB file. And the following procedure will help you search it in there:
-
Download some SQLite client (e.g. command-line shell program or DB Browser for SQLite)
-
Close Google Chrome (otherwise you will get "database is locked" error)
-
Open the SQLite DB file located at
%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Web Data
(on some systems, the file instead may be namedChrome Web Data
) -
Click the
Execute SQL
tab and then copy the following query:select * from autofill where name in ( select name from autofill where value_lower like 'one-data-entry-of-you' );
-
Replace
one-data-entry-of-you
for some text you know you have entered in that field. But try to use text that is not used in many fields: the more peculiar the better, because if the text replaced is used on many fields you will see all the entries for those many fields at the same time. -
Click
Execute Query
.
Solution 2:
By design it only does the most recent few.
If you want something that'll do this you're gonna need something like Lazarus.
