Retrieve Chrome (lastpass) extension's localy stored password - google-chrome

I have forgotten my lastpass master password (my bad, the hint is not hinty enough) but chrome does know it as it logs me back to lastpass automatically on restarts and stuff...
So it must be stored on my machine by chrome.
How do i retrieve the password stored by chrome ?
I've seen a bunch of chrome password recovery but i'm not sure if that's for extension as well as websites, and they all seem pretty dodgy. i don't was to worm my computer by trying to retrieve a secure key :d
Thanks

Google Chrome: Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 407 (Proxy Authentication Required)

I'm connecting to the internet using a Proxy server. I already set the manual proxy setup with my IP address and the port. Now the issue is when I'm browsing on the internet chrome requires proxy username and password. I remember my proxy username and password but to enter those the popup window is not popping up. In Console I have this error and browser window is keep refreshing continuously with blank window.
Is there any way I can give proxy server username and password from Chrome settings? This happens only in chrome non incognito mode. I tried with Incognito mode, it asks the proxy username and password and thereafter everything working perfectly,
Note: This was listed in 2009 as a bug but I didn't found any solution to this https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=6666
Since there is no answer over the internet, I will post the way I solved the issue. Actually this is not the proper way to solve the issue but at least you can connect to the internet using this method.
Proxy authentication details are stored some ware in your chrome account which associated with your email. After struggling few hours, what I did was, login to the chrome with another email so here it wont affect the settings on the previous Gmail account. Thereafter it asks the proxy username and password.
Note: Don't click the Never button if dialogue box pops up and ask to store the username and password.
I hope this will help for someone in future.

Is the console in Chrome Dev Tools secure?

I was investigating why my DirectTV Now service wasn't working in the Chrome Dev Tools to nerd around when I couldn't log in.
I saw that when I try to log in, it logs my password and username.
So I began wondering - is there any way an unsavory Chrome extension or other loaded Javascript files could access things that have been logged to the console?
I've often dumped sensitive items into the log in development, but never in production.
Hoped someone better informed than I am could help me understand if this is secure or not.
If its in the console, its originating from a console.log() call. Since console.log() is dumping out to the console log window the contents of some variable or state somewhere in the page, then a plugin can also read the same variables in the running page.

PhpStorm Deployment - asks for login credentials every time

I setup deployment to sync my project code with the project on the FTP server where my website is stored.
However, I always have to login each time when I try to sync.
I even checked remember, but it does not work!
I am using the latest PhpStorm 2017.1.4
I tried it via sftp and ftp, the result is the same.
The Settings page for "Deployment" takes minimum 2 Minutes to load btw!
UPDATE:
I noticed that the credentials are not getting saved!
I've entered a username and password and clicked on save password, then on apply and OK. Then I close the settings menu.
If I open it again, then the fields for username and password are empty again!
Please switch to using KeePass in Settings | Appearance & Behavior | System Settings | Passwords.
Generally, the Native Keychain should work too, but there might be some issues with it that need troubleshooting. If you want, submit a support ticket for PhpStorm, I'll take a look.

Cannot access the Couchbase 4.1.0 Web Console

I'm new to Couchbase and I ran into a problem which I couldn't solve by browsing the web looking for help. I've recently installed Couchbase 4.1.0 Community Edition onto a Windows Server 2012 machine. Everything worked well, I've set up admin password, but I can't login onto the Web Console. I've tried both "localhost" and "127.0.0.1" with identical results. This is what I see when I open the Web Console:
Couchbase Web Console
When I enter correct user name and password and hit "Sign In", the page just reloads and shows blank fields. Nothing else happens. When I enter an incorrect password, I see the following:
Couchbase Web Console - incorrect password
That's it. No action at all. I've tried resetting the password many times (cbreset_password.exe), even reinstalling the whole thing, but nothing changed.
Any help will be much appreciated! Thx.
I now know the answer and it has nothing to do with Couchbase itself. After weeks of inactivity on this task, I wanted to download the Oracle SQL Developer. As with all Oracle software, I had to pass a single sign-on form.
I filled in my username and password, and bang, the form merely reset itself! No error message, nothing. I've immediately had a deja vu. So I started to suspect something has to be wrong with the Internet Explorer's cookie settings. (It's all on a virtual machine which I only use occasionally, otherwise I'd have noticed it way sooner.)
I downloaded and installed Firefox, and both Couchbase and Oracle sign-on started to work! :)

Mercurial keyring and password change on Google Code

I'm using Mercurial (latest bundled with THG) and have a repo on Google Code. I enabled the mercurial_keyring extension and this worked perfectly until I changed the password on my Google account. Now Google Code returns a HTTP 403 error due to the wrong password stored in the keychain, which causes HG to abort the push without asking for the password again.
Is there any way to force the password change on the keyring, or even just to reset it, so that I can re-enter the new password? A tool to manage the stored entries for the python Win32CryptoKeyring would also be fine, since I could use that to delete my password.
I found this question accidentally. Mercurial_keyring tries to detect such cases and re-ask for the password, but for one reason or another this did not work.
I created issue https://bitbucket.org/Mekk/mercurial_keyring/issue/45/some-way-to-clear-password-and-maybe to track the problem, anybody wishing to add some information or to follow the work is welcome to track it.
