Where does Mac Store Passwords?

Mac stores passwords in the Keychain Access app, which is a secure password management system built into macOS. The Keychain Access app securely stores passwords for various services and applications, helping users manage their login credentials efficiently.

When you enter a password for the first time on your Mac, you may have noticed a prompt asking if you want to save it in your keychain. If you choose to save the password, it will be stored in the Keychain Access app, where you can view, edit, or delete it later.

Keychain Access uses encryption to protect your passwords, ensuring that they are securely stored on your device. You can also sync your keychain across multiple Apple devices using iCloud Keychain, making it convenient to access your passwords from anywhere.
