Hi,

That should work for most passwords, but there are also WebKitGTK+ HTTP 
authentication passwords, which are stored using the deprecated network 
password schema, so they're not associated with any application. I know 
this is unfortunate. We haven't figured out any good way to associate 
those passwords with Epiphany.

If you're having trouble getting the org.epiphany.FormPassword 
passwords, you might be interested in Epiphany's code to do so [1]. If 
Epiphany can enumerate the passwords then you can too! Hope that helps.

Note: the storage schema is likely to change in 3.26 to accommodate 
some new information needed for Firefox Sync support. Users will be 
migrated automatically but you'll need to adjust your script for it. 
That code has not landed yet, so don't worry about it until later.

Michael
