Where does WinSCP store site's password?

Question

Where does WinSCP store site's information or password? I can't find it under Documents and Settings...

Answer 1

The configuration file is stored either in the Windows registry or, if you are using the portable version, in an INI file. (See the documentation.) The registry location is:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Martin Prikryl\WinSCP 2

You can always export the settings to an INI file by pressing Export in the preferences dialog.

Note that your passwords are not stored in text, but encoded. Though difficult to decrypt, it is not impossible.
