Facebook IM team has released their version of IM client some time early this year. Unofficial sources say that as much as up to 20% of on-line Facebook users are also logged into social.im (although I doubt the share is more than 10% since the IM is still in the beta stages).
For those of us that ever wanted to recover forgotten Facebook password that is saved in the browser and social.im client, there is bad news though -
The browser is not likely to keep the saved password. Instead the cookie is saved on the system that tells Facebook that user does not want the password to be entered each time.
There is no way to recover the password from that session cookie.
Some IMs store the saved password locally in some sort of encrypted or clear-text form. Just like with Yahoo Messenger, the social.im password is not stored locally. Social.im sends the password to the server during the first login. The server returns a string called AuthKey which is then used by social.im to authenticate at consequent times.
There is no way to find out which algorithm is used to translate the password into AuthKey (unless this info gets leaked from the social.im team or someone takes a guess that turns out to be correct).
The above reasons mean that there is no easy way of recovering Facebook password using the information saved on the local system.
Update: Looks like encrypted AuthKey is encoded using base64 format (to be able to store this authentication key in the ASCII form).
