Obtaining Complete List of Auto-filled Data in Chrome Browser: Usernames

The Chrome browser has a feature that allows users to automatically fill in text boxes with previously entered information. This can include usernames, passwords, addresses, and other data. While this feature can be convenient, it can also be a security risk if the device is lost or stolen. In this article, we will cover how to obtain a complete list of auto-filled usernames in the Chrome browser.

Finding the Auto-filled Data

To find the auto-filled data in the Chrome browser, follow these steps:

1. Open the Chrome browser on your device.
2. Click on the three dots in the top right corner of the browser window to open the menu.
3. Click on "Settings".
4. Scroll down to the "Autofill" section and click on "Addresses and more".

From here, you can see all of the addresses and other information that has been saved in the Chrome browser. However, there is no option to view a list of saved usernames specifically.

Using Developer Tools to Obtain a List of Usernames

To obtain a list of saved usernames in the Chrome browser, you can use the browser's developer tools. Here's how:

1. Follow the steps above to open the "Addresses and more" section in the Chrome settings.
2. Right-click anywhere on the page and select "Inspect" to open the developer tools.
3. In the developer tools window, click on the "Network" tab.
4. At the top of the developer tools window, make sure that "Preserve log" is checked.
5. Click on the "Clear" button to clear any existing logs.
6. Go back to the "Addresses and more" section in the Chrome settings and delete one of the saved addresses.
7. In the developer tools window, you should see a new entry in the log with a "Type" of "XHR" and a "Status" of "200 OK".
8. Click on the entry to view the details. Under the "Headers" tab, scroll down to the "Request Payload" section.
9. In the "Request Payload" section, you should see a JSON object with all of the saved addresses and usernames. The usernames will be listed under the "addresses" array, with each username listed as the "username" property of an object.

Obtaining a complete list of auto-filled usernames in the Chrome browser can be useful for a variety of purposes, including data analysis and security.
