Follow these steps to view Keychain passwords on a Mac:

1. Open the 'Applications' folder on your Mac.
2. Launch the 'Utilities' folder within Applications.
3. Open 'Keychain Access'.
4. In the search bar at the top right corner, type the name of the account or application for which you want to retrieve the password.
5. Double click on the entry related to the password you need.
6. Check the 'Show Password' box.
7. You will be prompted to enter your Mac username and password. Enter these details and click 'Allow'.

It's important to note that you can only view passwords for accounts that you have permission to access on your Mac. Additionally, always ensure your Mac is secure, and consider using a reliable password manager for added security.
