DBeaver Password Decrypter !
- Locate DBeaver credentials-config.json file
In my case, it was in this location ~/Library/DBeaverData/workspace6/General/.dbeaver/credentials-config.json. (My DBeaver Version was 23.3.0.20231203XXXX and it was on Mac OSX Ventura.) - Decrypt the credentials-config.json file
- Correlate with data-sources.json
Locate data-sources.json file. It should be in the same folder as credentials-config.json. Then use the connectionId from the above table to find the connection details in data-sources.json.
Old versions of Dbeaver ▾
- Locate DBeaver connection details file.
In my case, it was in this location ~/.dbeaver/General/.dbeaver-data-sources.xml. (My DBeaver version was 3.5.8 and it was on Mac OSX Mojave). This file is hidden, so keep that in mind when you look for it. - Locate your interested Datasource Definition node in that file.
- Decrypt the password
Unfortunately, everything is in plain text except password, as you can see. Copy that encrypted password and paste in this form and click decrypt. Voila! You have decrypted password.
Update for DBeaver 6.0.3
Location of the file is changed to ~/.dbeaver4/General/.dbeaver-data-sources.xml. Just follow rest of the steps
