How do I decrypt the Cookes file and replace with it the file that I have in the new profile on a different Windows profile now?

How do I decrypt the Cookes file which is encrypted with the local key and replace with it the file that I have in the new profile on another Windows profile now?

P.s.Access to the Windows account, where was the profile from which I copy now, is no longer available, because the registry is broken and can not be restored. Windows from under the user of that, does not start(

@kirill1996 Without the old Windows account you are not able decrypt content of the SQLite database file Cookies it.

Perhaps *this tool can help you.

*as in some countries links to hacker tools are forbidden, i give you only a search.

@kirill1996 Hi - short answer: You can't. Cookies were never meant to be portable. Even if you were by some magic able to get all cookies over to your new profile, there's no guarantee that sites will accept these cookies and sign you in.

My suggestion is to just sign in to any sites again - much faster than trying to hack your way around this.

Since you're on Windows, there's a tool that allows you to decrypt your browser cookies and export them in the common Netscape cookies.txt format.

The tool also allows you to decrypt a Cookies files from an external drive if you point it to the DPI Protect and know the Login password for that account.

Unfortunately you can't easily import the Netscape format cookies into another browser. There might be an extension that allows to import from the Netscape cookies format, but I've not found one on the store.

I did find this however:
https://github.com/zhad3/cookies.txt-importer-for-chrome
It seems to work "OK" - some cookies failed to be imported and there's a 100kb limit for imported files, but this can easily be fixed in options.js, line 157:
if (f.size > 1024 * 1000) {
For 1mb upload instead.

Generally there's good reason to be sceptical of random extensions downloaded from Github - you never know if a malicious extension might upload all your cookies. From a quick look at the source of the extension, it looks like there's nothing shady going on under the hood.
