As we have made strides towards digitization, computer devices have become integral aspects of our day-to-day lives. For Mac users, password management has been made simpler as the devices come with an inbuilt feature that stores passwords. While this feature is beneficial, there’s one downside to it – users tend to forget their passwords. If you’re a Mac user, there are a few ways to find saved passwords.

1. Keychain Access

Keychain Access is a program present in every macOS version that stores passwords, certificates, and other sensitive data used on Macs. In this program, you can find your saved passwords. To access Keychain Access, click on Finder, select Applications, open Utility, and click on Keychain Access. Once you have opened Keychain Access, search for the website or application that you want to find the password for, and the password will appear under the Attribute section.

2. Safari Preferences

Safari is the default web browser of Mac users. It stores the passwords for the websites you visit, and you can find them with a few clicks. To find passwords saved in Safari preferences, click on Safari from the taskbar, select Preferences, and click on Passwords. You will be required to enter your Mac password to access your saved passwords. After verification, you will be able to access your saved passwords.

3. iCloud Keychain

iCloud Keychain is an iCloud feature that synchronizes passwords between iOS devices and Macs. When you save a password on your iPhone, it automatically synchronizes to your Mac, and vice versa. The best thing about iCloud Keychain is that it encrypts your passwords, making it impossible for unauthorized users to access your passwords. To access your passwords on iCloud Keychain, click on System Preferences, select iCloud and click on Keychain.

4. Third-Party Applications

Apart from Keychain Access, Safari, and iCloud Keychain on a Mac, there are third-party applications that you can use to save and manage passwords. One notable application that can do this is 1Password. It is a password manager that stores all your passwords, and while it is a paid application, it is definitely worth the cost.
