Accessing Passwords in Keychain
Keychain is a password management system in macOS that securely stores passwords and other sensitive information. To access passwords stored in Keychain, follow these steps:
- Open the Keychain Access app. You can find it in the Utilities folder within the Applications folder.
- In the Keychain Access app, you will see a list of all the passwords and other items saved in your Keychain. You can use the search bar to find specific passwords.
- Double click on the password you want to access. A new window will open showing details of the selected password, such as account name, kind, and where the password is used.
- To view the password, check the box next to 'Show password' and enter your macOS user account password when prompted. The password will be revealed.
- You can also use the Keychain Access app to edit or delete passwords as needed.
Remember to keep your Keychain secure by using a strong macOS user account password and enabling FileVault encryption for added protection.
