Other Credentials Guides
How to backup Outlook, Thunderbird, FileZilla, WinSCP, Windows Credential Manager and other application passwords before reinstalling Windows — plus complete migration and preparation guides for moving to a new PC.
The most-forgotten credentials before reinstalling
Users remember browser passwords and product keys — but FTP logins, email account passwords and Windows Credential Manager entries are silently wiped in a clean install and rarely backed up.
Each app stores passwords differently
FileZilla uses an XML file. Thunderbird uses a SQLite database. Outlook uses Windows Credential Manager. WinSCP uses the registry. Our guides cover each location specifically.
Advanced Password Recovery Suite covers all of them
Instead of opening each app manually, APRS scans Outlook, Thunderbird, FileZilla, WinSCP, Windows Credential Manager and more in a single scan and exports everything to one file.
