    Password Storage: So far I have looked in files and the registry.

    I am using PL/SQL Developer to connect to Oracle.

    The application has a persistent password feature.

    I am trying to find out where it stores passwords.

    So far I have searched the registry and the files in the application folder.
    I am unable to find the location of the stored password.

    Does anyone here have an idea?

    They are stored encrypted and aren't readable via normal means. Where they are stored though, most likely in one of the common areas such as Application Data.

    Now that you mention it, I have looked inside the Application Data folder. There's a folder for PL/SQL Developer. No encrypted files.
