How to Check Saved Passwords In Android?

Want to see your saved passwords? You can usually find them in your device or browser settings.

The steps change depending on what you’re using—Android, iPhone, Windows, Mac, or a browser.

Here’s a simple guide to help you out.

Finding Passwords in Web Browsers

Browsers often ask to save your password when you log into a site. It’s handy but not super safe—hackers might get to them.

Built-in browser storage isn’t the strongest option either. Still, here’s how to view them:

Google Chrome

• Open Chrome.

• Find the key-shaped Passwords icon.

• No icon? Click the three dots (top-right), then Settings > Autofill and Passwords > Google Password Manager.

• Your passwords will show up there.

Safari

• Launch Safari.

• Go to Settings or Preferences.

• Hit Passwords, then log in with Touch ID or your password.

• Pick a site and click Edit to see the password.

Mozilla Firefox

• Open Firefox.

• Click the three lines (menu).

• Go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Passwords.

• Hit Saved Passwords and enter your device password if asked.

Microsoft Edge

• Open Edge.

• Click the three lines (menu).

• Go to Settings > Passwords.

• Choose a site to see the password.

Checking Passwords on Android

Steps differ by phone, but here’s how it works on a Samsung:

• Open Settings > General Management > Passwords and Autofill.

• Pick Google or Samsung Pass.

• Tap an account to view the password.

• Or, use Chrome: Open app > three dots > Settings > Passwords.

Viewing Passwords on iPhone

• Open Settings > Passwords.

• For iOS 13, go to Passwords & Accounts. For iOS 14+, just Passwords.

• Use Face ID, Touch ID, or your passcode.

• Select a site or app to see the password.

• On iOS 18, use the Passwords app and enter your passcode.

Finding Passwords on a Mac

• Click the Apple menu > System Settings (or System Preferences on older versions).

• Select Passwords.

• Sign in with Touch ID or your password.

• Pick a site, then hit Show Details (or Edit on Monterey+).

Getting Passwords on Windows 10

Credential Manager

• Open Control Panel > User Accounts > Credential Manager.

• Look under Web Credentials or Windows Credentials.

• Click the arrow next to an account, then Show (enter admin password if needed).

Command Prompt

• Search “command prompt” in Windows.

• Right-click it > Run as Administrator > Yes.

• Type: rundll32.exe keymgr.dll, KRShowKeyMgr and hit Enter.

• A list of usernames and passwords pops up.

Why Use a Password Manager?

Too many passwords scattered around? A password manager keeps them safe in one spot. It’s like a locked box for your logins. Benefits include:

1. All passwords in one place.
2. Auto-fills logins fast.
3. Makes strong passwords for you.
4. Checks if your passwords are weak.
5. Adds extra security like breach alerts.

Your device’s saved passwords are only as safe as the device itself. A dedicated password manager beats basic built-in options for better protection.
