The password encryption is handled by PSM, which is a pretty complicated system. It's not a simple encrypt/decrypt function but rather a large laibrary with several layers. That makes it difficult to point to the actual encryption function. You can ask the crypto guys in n.p.m.crypto, but they'll probably say much the same thing.

I'd like to be able to recover the passwords stored in the Password
Manager.  If I remove my master password, there's code, here:
        http://penguin-breeder.org/patches/download/mozillapw.c
to deobfuscate the unencrypted password file.

However, that requires removing the master password and restoring it
when I'm done.  Can anyone point me to the code that unencrypts the
password file, so that I could add it to mozillapw.c?  Other open
source alternatives to accomplish the same goal would also be welcome.

Thanks in advance,
Ed
