GNOME Keyring Dumper

This little script dumps all passwords stored in the GNOME keyring to standard output.

I created it to access my saved chromium-browser passwords from remote via SSH.

Usage

locally (e.g. in gnome-terminal): python gnome-keyring-dumper.py

remote (e.g. when connected via SSH and GNOME and its daemons are not running): bash gnome-keyring-dumper.sh

Example

user@localhost:~$ ssh localhost
