Hello,
Could someone be so kind as to offer me some guidance in viewing my logins and passwords?

In researching before asking, I think I read that the passwords are in a folder (or file) named key.db, and the logins in a folder (or file) named logins.json, both of which are found in the hidden folder named "Libraries" as follows:
Open Finder, go to top taskbar menu to the item "Go," while holding down the "Option" key click "Go" ; a menu will drop down that contains the link to "Libraries." Click "Libraries," and the two folders--key.db and logins.json--will be among the folders listed.

Please excuse me if I have misspelled the two folder (or file) names. The big mystery at this point is "How do I get key.db and logins.json open?" I've searched and searched but have yet to find the program that can open .db or .json files.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
