Recover Google Drive Login Details

[Pintu]

I have login issues with a dedicated Google account that I use for Clouddrive. I cannot login directly to google anymore, but strangely, it works fine with Clouddrive. Does Clouddrive store the username (and perhaps even password) somewhere where I could recover them?

No, CloudDrive does not use (nor store) your login credentials. It connects as a third-party app through the open authorization (OAuth) protocol. Put simply, it uses a separate key, which was built when you initially created the CloudDrive connection to your Google account and approved the rights, which CloudDrive needs to access your Google Drive data.

Thanks, that's what I thought.

That and IIRC, it uses the Windows Credential manager for storing that token. So it's securely stored, and not recoverable.
