Where Are Safari Passwords Stored?

If you're using Safari as your web browser on your Mac or iOS device, you may be wondering where Safari passwords are stored. Safari securely stores your passwords in the macOS Keychain, which is a built-in password management system that securely stores passwords and sensitive information.

When you save a password in Safari, it is automatically stored in the Keychain. This allows Safari to autofill your login credentials when you revisit a website. The Keychain is encrypted and protected with your device's master password, making it a secure place to store your passwords.

To view your saved passwords in Safari, you can go to Safari Preferences > Passwords. Here, you will need to authenticate with your device's password or Touch ID to access your saved passwords. You can also manage your saved passwords, remove saved passwords, or update them as needed.

It's important to keep your device's master password secure and not share it with anyone to ensure the safety of your stored passwords in the Keychain. Additionally, regularly updating your passwords and enabling two-factor authentication wherever possible adds an extra layer of security to your online accounts.
