Observer Comments
I believe you raised the issue of (lack of) synchronisation of passwords held in keychain with those held by Safari. I believe you wished to find where Safari holds its passwords. When I wish to find such files which I have not been able to find looking in the obvious places I deliberatetly modify the file and then search for files updated today and put in date order.
So, for Safari passwords I would go to a site that requires creation of an account and allow Safari to save the username and password for you. Then, look for files mofiied today in your own folder and subfolders.
I believe (from something I browsed ages ago) that the problem is related to the "endian-ness" of the processor. Effectively the data (encrypted password) is raw binary data and it needs to be endian swapped *before* it can be decoded. That should be possible but may have been missed...
