## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: active
- function: security, cryptography, cli
- domain: security, penetration-testing, developer-tools
