How do i see my saved passwords on iphone

If you forget your password for a site you can retrieve it from your iPhone or iPad if you saved it to Safari. Here’s how.

There may be times when you need to view a saved password in Safari on your iPhone or iPad. For example, maybe you need to log into a site on a different device but forgot your password. If your password was saved in Safari on your iPhone, you can retrieve your password. Here’s how to do it.

To get started go to Settings > Passwords & Accounts > Website & App Passwords.

After that, you will be asked for your password authentication. You can use Touch ID, Face ID, or your passcode to verify it’s you want access.

After authentication, you will see a list of the saved account info. It is listed alphabetically by the website name. You can scroll through to find the site you need or use the search bar to find the site you are looking for. Once you find the site that you are looking for tap on it.

The next screen will display the account details in full. That includes the user name and password for the site you need to log into.

Safari on your iPhone or iPad will automatically save your passwords if you allow it to. This makes it easier to manage your passwords and not have to memorize and type them in every time you go to a new site.

Managing passwords can be a headache indeed. If possible, it’s a best practice to memorize the username and password for the site and avoid writing it down. Or, you can copy it from one screen to the other if you are logging into a site from a different device. If you find yourself needing to manage multiple sites with different login credentials your best bet is to use a password manager such as LastPass or 1 Password instead.

In addition to the iPhone, of course, this also works for the iPad as well.

When you visit a website, add an email account or network server, or join a password protected Wi-Fi network on a Mac, the option to save or remember those details will be offered to you so you don't have to type it again next time.

Apple stores these passwords alongside secure notes, certificates, and keys locally in Keychain Access, but if you enable iCloud Keychain – a neat feature of iOS and macOS – you'll have access to all of the stored information since it is synced automatically across all trusted devices.

How Do I Access My Passwords in iCloud Keychain on a Mac?

Saving and retrieving a password is easy, but it's only effective if you have enabled AutoFill in Safari preferences. Still, there are times when you might need to know the saved account username and password that are stored in iCloud Keychain, for example when an online service you have signed up to also has a Mac app that requires those same login credentials. It’s here where the hunt for the username and password begins, but fortunately macOS has two ways to access this info.

The easiest way to retrieve the desired username and password in iCloud Keychain is by launching Safari and locating Preferences > Passwords. As you will see, the passwords are protected by your macOS user login password. Each user on a Mac has a login keychain, and the password for your login keychain will match the one that the specific Mac account uses to log in.

After entering the password, the AutoFill usernames and passwords dialog box opens, and you'll see the website information alongside the related credentials as you select the desired item. Using the search field will help you find it more quickly, especially if your list is very long.

The second way to access your passwords is by launching the Keychain Access app. Here you'll find your passwords that are synced with other devices under the iCloud category. The advantage of Keychain Access is that you can also view your secure notes and certificates as well, though the certificates are stored locally.
