nss-passwords

Tech stack & purpose

nss-passwords is a command-line tool that reads passwords from Mozilla keyrings, operating entirely in text mode. It serves as a higher-level alternative to the pwdecrypt utility, designed to work with the SQLite-based and JSON-based keyrings used by recent versions of Firefox. The project is built with Objective Caml and relies on Mozilla's Network Security Services (NSS) library alongside several OCaml packages including ocaml-fileutils, ocaml-sqlite3, and ppx_yojson_conv, as well as a pinentry tool following the Assuan protocol for credential input. It was created by Stéphane Glondu and has been tested with Firefox, Iceweasel, and Thunderbird/Icedove browsers.
