LaZagne is an open-source Python application that recovers passwords stored locally by common software such as browsers, mail clients, WiFi profiles, and Windows secrets. It runs as a standalone CLI tool on Windows, Linux, and macOS and can output results as text or JSON.

Use cases

• recover saved browser passwords from a local machine
• extract wifi passwords from windows
• dump stored credentials during a penetration test
• recover passwords from mail and database clients
• audit what passwords are stored in plaintext on a computer
• collect credentials for post-exploitation

When to choose

• you need to recover locally stored passwords on Windows, Linux, or macOS
• you are doing authorized penetration testing or incident response and need credential extraction
• you want a single tool covering many browsers and applications instead of writing per-app scripts

When to avoid

• you need to crack hashed or remote passwords rather than locally stored ones
• you lack the necessary privileges (admin/sudo or the user's master password)
• your use case is not authorized - extracting credentials from machines you do not own or have permission to test is illegal
