Where to Find Saved Passwords on Mac

Have you ever been in a situation where you’ve forgotten a password and wished you could easily retrieve it from your Mac? Knowing where your saved passwords are stored on a Mac can be a lifesaver in such moments.

On a Mac, your saved passwords are typically stored in the Keychain Access app. Here’s how you can access them:

1. Open Keychain Access by searching for it using Spotlight or finding it in the Utilities folder within the Applications folder.
2. Within Keychain Access, you will see a list of items on the left sidebar. Select 'Passwords' to view only your saved passwords.
3. You can search for a specific password by typing the name of the service or website in the search bar at the top right corner.
4. Double click on the password entry you want to view. A new window will open showing details of the saved password.
5. If the password is hidden, you may need to enter your Mac’s login password to reveal it.

Remember to always keep your Mac password-protected and use secure passwords to protect your sensitive information. Additionally, consider using a reliable password manager to securely store and manage all your passwords.
