see saved passwords safari mac

Tips & Tricks

Troubleshooting, how to view saved passwords in safari on mac.

If you save passwords with Safari on Mac, you can easily go back and view those saved passwords. This is fantastic if you’ve lost a login, or perhaps if you forgot the password to one of your online accounts.

As long as you previously signed in to your account from Safari on Mac, iPhone, or iPad, you may be able to see the exact password you used thanks to iCloud Keychain.

Safari has a built-in password management solution that fills out website usernames and passwords for you. Every time you log in to a website in Safari for the first time, the browser will ask you if you want to save the password. When you click “Save Password”, Safari keeps a record of this data so that you don’t have to type in these details the next time you log in. If you’ve been using this feature regularly, you could potentially forget your password. Thankfully, you can recover the password pretty quickly even if you lose it. Let’s review how to see and reveal a saved password directly in Safari for Mac.

How to Find Saved Passwords in Safari for Mac

Viewing all the passwords you’ve entered while browsing in Safari is a pretty simple and straightforward procedure. Just follow the steps below to get started.

Pretty useful, right? Viewing saved passwords in Safari on MacOS is incredibly convenient, for many obvious reasons.

Keep in mind that you will only be able to find this lost password in Safari if you chose to “save password” when you typed in your login credentials on the particular website. You can also manually add account information to Safari for websites in the same menu as a one-time thing and you don’t have to remember your password again.

There’s one other way to view all your saved passwords in Safari and that’s using Keychain Access . Here, you’ll see password information for all the sign-ins you’ve made from your Mac and not just Safari. However, if you don’t use iCloud Keychain and have changed the password for any of your accounts from another device, this information that’s stored on your Mac will be outdated and can no longer be used unless you update it manually.

All the passwords you enter in Safari are securely stored in the keychain. Furthermore,  all the web passwords that Safari save to Keychain  will be synced across all your other Apple devices with the help of iCloud, meaning all of your iPhone, iPad, and Mac hardware will have access to the keychain saved data.

Obviously this covers the Mac, but you can see accounts and view passwords on iPhone and iPad with Keychain too .

Were you able to view all the saved passwords in Safari and regain access to the website you needed to? Were you able to use this method to recover your forgotten password? If not, did you find any other solution? What are your overall thoughts on Safari’s built-in password manager? Do share your valuable opinions and experience below.

Safari Password Manager: How to save, view and manage passwords in Apple's browser

Thanks to iCloud Keychain, you can save browser username and password combinations.

• Quick steps

Tools and Requirements

Step by step guide to using the safari password manager, final thoughts.

You probably already know about iCloud if you're using at least one Apple device. The cloud storage and synchronization service allows it to store and access content across multiple devices, including Mac, iPhone, iPad, and more.  These include files and information like documents, photos, music, video, and contacts.

Apple's iCloud service is also at the heart of the iCloud Keychain , where you can store website usernames/passwords, among other items. In this how-to, we're concentrating on how to add, edit, and delete Safari password content. Similar tools are available on other browsers like Microsoft Edge and Mozilla Firefox . 

• You should also consider the best browsers and best secure browsers .  

Steps for saving, viewing and managing passwords

• Before you can save any username/password combinations, you must first be sure to have an Apple ID or iCloud account.
• From there, you can begin adding usernames and passwords for websites you frequent. 
• You can also take advantage of Apple's new passkey feature. 
• Safari is only available on Apple devices such as Mac, iPhone, and iPad. 

1. Go into the manager

To get started, you must first create an Apple ID . The username/password combinate is usable across all Apple devices to log into iCloud.com. You can proceed once you have an Apple ID and are logged into your device. 

On Mac, the Safari password manager is located by choosing Safari on the menu bar at the top left of your Mac. From there, click Settings from the pull-down menu. 

Next, click on the Passwords option at the top. Input your password as needed. 

2. Adjust existing password settings

You can adjust password information in the iCloud Keychain directly from Safari. To get started, go into the Passwords section of Mac Settings (see above) and log in as necessary. Then, use the search box on the left side of the display to find the password information you wish to change. Click Edit . 

You can change the username and password for a website and add notes when applicable. After making a change, click Save . 

Click Delete Password to delete the password information. 

Thanks to iCloud, any changes you make here will also be reflected in other Apple devices that use your Apple ID. 

4. Using Autofill in Safari

With AutoFill, you can fill in your previously saved usernames and website passwords. The tool is also a great way to add a new username/password combination for the first time and to create a strong password. 

You will see AutoFill pop up when a website asks you to create a password.

You will see an Autofill prompt In Safari when it's time to use or create a password. 

Click the AutoFill Key button, then choose Suggest New Password . For optimal security, you should use the suggested strong password. However, if you choose not to use the suggested password, you can easily select the password field, click “ Don’t Use ,” and enter your preferred password.

From there, enter the rest of the required information to create the website account.

Why use a separate password manager instead of a browser?

While most web browsers have their own password management feature, except for Safari which incorporates it into iCloud Keychain, in-browser password managers have limitations. They can only be used with one specific browser and cannot be accessed from other browsers. On the other hand, standalone password managers are compatible with any browser on your device, making them a more versatile option. Moreover, it is important to consider security when choosing a password manager. Browsers are not updated as frequently as standalone password managers, which can pose a security risk in case of a breach.

Does Safari have a built-in VPN?

Like many other browsers, Safari does not come with a pre-installed VPN. However, several reliable third-party VPNs like ExpressVPN, NordVPN, and SurfShark can easily be integrated with Safari. With a VPN, you can significantly boost the security and privacy of your online activities.

Are browser password managers safe?

To guarantee the safety of your passwords, using browser password managers like Safari with encryption is a great first step. However, there are additional measures you can take to further enhance your protection. It is highly recommended to create a strong and secure master password. The newest optional feature in Microsoft Edge mandates that you input your master password before making any changes to the password manager, thereby adding an extra layer of security. Regularly backing up your password manager is also a wise precaution in case of loss or theft. Another crucial step is creating a Firefox profile, allowing content synchronization across devices. This ensures that any changes made on your computer are reflected on your mobile device and vice versa.

What is iCloud Keychain?

iCloud Keychain is a highly reliable password manager that securely stores sensitive information such as passwords and credit card details in an online vault as part of Apple’s iCloud suite of services. Users can easily access their stored data by simply logging in to the same iCloud account on any Apple device. Thanks to the end-to-end encryption feature, user data is protected and can only be accessed by the user, even in the unlikely event of an iCloud account breach. Furthermore, the two-factor authentication feature provides an extra layer of security to user accounts, ensuring that they remain safe and secure at all times.

What are Apple Passkeys?

Apple Passkeys hope to eliminate the need for passwords eventually. This authentication method adheres to industry standards and guarantees improved security features while streamlining the login experience.

Passkeys create a unique cryptographic key pair for every website or application you use. The website or app stores the public key while the private one remains on your device. When you log in, your device produces a cryptographic signature using the private key. The website or application can then authenticate your identity by verifying this signature. With Passkeys, you can rest assured that your online security is in good hands.

Like passwords, passkeys are kept in Apple's iCloud Keychain. 

The built-in Safari password manager, part of the iCloud Keychain, makes tracking website usernames and passwords easier. Better still, those items carry over to other Apple devices, including iPhone and iPad. In the coming years, Apple hopes to eliminate the need for passwords and replace them with more secure passkeys. However, username and password combinations remain the most popular choice for website authentication.

How to View Saved Passwords in Safari on Mac

If you use Safari as your primary web browser, you probably also use it to store your usernames, passwords, and other credentials. Thanks to Apple’s Keychain , those credentials are safely stored and shared across your devices via iCloud. The same applies to Safari itself, which helps store your passwords and create highly secure ones. So, what happens if you want to view saved passwords in Safari on your Mac?

Luckily for us, this web browser lets you access and view the passwords you saved. It even allows you to update or delete them manually. This comes in handy on numerous occasions, so let’s talk about how to view saved passwords in Safari on your Mac.

How to View Saved Passwords in Safari on Your Mac

Accessing your passwords and credentials on Safari is done on the browser itself.

1. Launch Safari by clicking on its icon in your Dock (if it’s visible there). If you can’t find it, launch Spotlight Search by pressing the Command + Space keyboard shortcut. Type in “Safari,” then press Enter to launch the application.

2. Select “Safari” using macOS’s menu bar (at the top of your screen). A drop-down menu will appear. Select “Preferences,” and a new window will open.

3. Using the newly opened Preferences window, select the “Passwords” tab. As you can imagine, Safari won’t let you reveal your sensitive data that easily. So depending on the type of security measures you’ve set up, you’ll need to provide your password or identify yourself via Touch ID.

4. After a few seconds, you should see a long list of your credentials. Take a good look, and you’ll see three columns there. On the left, you can identify the website associated with your username and password. And on the right, you will see your username and then your password. At first, your passwords are shown as dots. However, as you click on each entry, the associated password will be revealed in full.

That’s it! You now know how to view saved passwords in Safari on your Mac. However, while we still have your attention, we’d like to help you expand your knowledge a bit. Using Safari’s “Passwords” interface, you can remove or add entries manually, improve your cybersecurity, and even share your passwords.

1. To add a new entry manually, visit the Passwords interface following the steps above. Once you get to see the list of your credentials, check the bottom-right corner.

2. Click on “Add” to add a new entry manually. You will need to input a website URL as well as your credentials. Once done, select “Add Password” to let Safari auto-fill that information the next time you need to use it. And if you select an entry and click on “Remove,” you’ll instruct Safari to forget your credentials.

3. And lastly, there’s also the “Details” button (in the bottom-right corner). Using that button, you can check if you use a compromised or reused password, along with the information on how to improve your security. Using strong passwords is crucial for preserving the privacy of your personal information, so do your best to create unique and strong passwords. Let’s also not forget that you can use the “Details” window to share your passwords securely, using Apple’s AirDrop .

That would be all on how to view saved passwords in Safari on your Mac. If you are not a fan of the password manager, here’s how to disable Safari’s built-in password manager . After that, make use of the best free password managers to store your passwords.

To find saved passwords on your Mac:

• Go to System Settings > Passwords and authenticate with your admin password. Browse the list of accounts with saved passwords.
• Open Safari, visit Settings , go to Passwords , and use Touch ID to authenticate. You’ll see a list of saved passwords. Click an entry to view it.
• Open Keychain Access > login under Default Keychains > Passwords . Double-click a credential, tick Show Password , and enter your keychain password to see the stored password.

I’ve had my fair share of struggles to keep track of various passwords. But that was before I knew about the built-in features Mac comes with to store and manage your passwords. In this guide, I’ll show you how to quickly find saved passwords on your Mac, ensuring easy access to your accounts while maintaining security.

Before We Begin

Your usernames and passwords could be at risk in data breaches. Download MacKeeper and use its ID Theft Guard feature for protection. It alerts you if your information is in any breaches, so you can quickly update your passwords and take needed security steps.

How to Find Saved Passwords on Your Mac

Below, I’ve shared the methods I personally use to find saved passwords on Mac.

1. Via System Settings

If you know your way around macOS, using System Settings is a quick way to view, edit, or delete your saved login details on a Mac. Now, let’s go through the steps to find saved passwords on your Mac via the System Settings:

• Navigate to the Apple Menu and click System Settings .

• Click Passwords in the left sidebar.
• Once you’re in the Passwords section, you’ll be prompted to enter your admin password for security verification.

• After authenticating, you’ll see a list of accounts with saved passwords.

• To reveal a specific password, click the small i next to the account title in the list.

• A new window will appear with the password hidden. Hover your mouse over the password to reveal it.
• If you want to copy the password, click the password and select Copy Password .

• If you want to modify the saved credentials, click the Edit button.

• At this point, you can edit both the Username and Password information.

Making changes here won’t update your password on the respective website.

• If you need to change your password on the actual website, click the Change Password on Website button.

• You can also delete the password by clicking the Delete Password button.

Remember : Modifying or deleting saved passwords this way doesn’t affect the accounts directly. You must go through each account’s change-password process. Always update your passwords on the respective websites when necessary.

2. Via Web Browser Settings

Web browsers like Safari, Chrome, and Firefox have built-in password managers that are secure and easy to use. Let’s see how you can find your saved passwords through each of these browsers.

Follow these steps to find saved passwords on your Mac via Safari:

• Open Safari on your Mac.
• Click Safari in the menu bar and go to Settings .

• Navigate to the Passwords tab.
• Use Touch ID or enter your Mac’s password to authenticate.

• You will see a list of saved passwords for various websites. Click any entry to view the password.

• If the password is hidden, hover your mouse over it to reveal it.

b. Google Chrome

Here’s how you can find saved passwords on your Mac using Google Chrome:

• Open Chrome on your Mac.
• Click the three vertical dots at the top-right corner to open the menu and go to Settings .

• Select Autofill and passwords in the left sidebar.

• Click Google Password Manager .

• Open Firefox on your Mac.
• Click the three horizontal lines at the top-right corner and choose Settings .

• Click Privacy & Security in the left sidebar.

• Scroll down to Logins and Passwords and click Saved Logins .

• A new tab will open where you’ll see a list of saved passwords. Click the Show Passwords button to reveal them.

3. Via Keychain Access

Keychain Access on your Mac is like a secure safe. It holds passwords, certificates, keys, and secure notes. It’s a complete tool for managing sensitive info. It’s user-friendly and adds extra security for your stored details.

Follow these steps to find saved passwords on your Mac using Keychain Access:

• Open the Spotlight Search by pressing Command ⌘ + Space and type in Keychain Access .

• Open the Keychain Access application.
• In the left sidebar, click the login category under Default Keychains.

• On the right side, click the Passwords category.

What Passwords Does macOS Save?

macOS securely keeps all sorts of passwords and credentials, like Wi-Fi networks and web logins, to secure email certificates. Here’s what kinds of passwords macOS can save:

• 🌐 Website Passwords : macOS stores usernames and passwords for websites. It does so mainly through Safari but also in other browsers that support its password management.
• 🖥️ Application Passwords : For software needing login details, macOS’s keychain can save these, so you don’t re-enter them each time the app opens.
• 📶 Wi-Fi Passwords : Once you enter a Wi-Fi password, macOS remembers it and automatically connects to that network when in range, without needing re-entry.
• 📧 Email Accounts : Using Apple’s Mail app or another client, macOS can save your email passwords for automatic email retrieval and sending.
• ☁️ iCloud Keychain : With iCloud Keychain, your passwords are stored on your device and synced across all Apple devices, like your Mac, iPhone, or iPad.
• 🔒 VPN Credentials : For VPN use, macOS can store your login details, eliminating the need to enter them every time you connect to your VPN.
• 🛡️ Disk Encryption Passwords : macOS manages passwords for FileVault or other encryption methods, though these aren’t directly accessible in the regular password tools for security.
• 🌍 Shared Network Passwords : Passwords for network drives or shared resources are stored by macOS for easier access within the network.
• 📝 Secure Notes : macOS’s Keychain Access also lets you securely store confidential notes, adding security for sensitive text information.

Protect Yourself Against Data Breaches With MacKeeper

Data breaches are common, risking your usernames and passwords. So, it’s crucial to act proactively. I recommend using MacKeeper’s ID Theft Guard which helps by constantly checking for your info in breaches and alerting you if it’s compromised. This way, you can quickly change passwords and lower identity theft or financial risks.

Follow these simple steps to use MacKeeper’s ID Theft Guard:

• Download and install MacKeeper on your Mac.
• After installation, open MacKeeper and click ID Theft Guard in the Privacy section.

• Click Open .

• Enter your email address and press Start Scan .

• If your email address is safe, you’ll see the No data breaches found notification. Click Continue .

• Now, tap the Turn On Monitoring button in the bottom-right corner.

• You will see the Data breach monitor is on notification at the top of the window. It will monitor your Mac in the background and instantly inform you in the event of a data breach or leak to re-secure everything and prevent further damage quickly.

What Else Can MacKeeper Do?

Besides protection against data breaches, MacKeeper can scan your Mac for viruses , free up RAM , and remove unwanted login items to speed up your system. Check out my detailed MacKeeper review to learn more about its features.

Never Forget a Saved Password on Your Mac

Managing passwords can often feel daunting, but macOS offers a variety of secure and user-friendly methods to help you keep track of your credentials. Here are some more tips to protect your privacy on Mac:

• Use FileVault disk encryption on Mac to protect your data by encrypting its entire drive. If your laptop is lost or stolen, the data remains inaccessible without the decryption key.
• Some websites can steal your sensitive data. Learn how to identify and block suspicious websites on Safari , Chrome, and Firefox to protect your information.
• If you want to protect your data, learn how to password-protect a folder on your Mac .

What to Know

• iCloud Keychain: Go to Applications > Utilities > Keychain Access > search for password > double click it.
• Check the Show Password box > enter your computer password > click OK (or Allow or Always Allow ).
• In Chrome: Chrome menu > Preferences > Autofill > Passwords > click the eye icon > enter your computer password > OK .

This article explains how to find passwords saved on a Mac. Saving passwords is useful, especially if you use very long, very safe passwords , but sometimes you'll forget them.

How Do I View Saved Passwords on My Mac? 

Follow these instructions to view saved passwords on your Mac:

Open a new Finder window and go to Applications > Utilities .

Open Keychain Access .

In the search bar in the top right corner, search for the password you're looking for. It's best to search for the name of the website or app whose password you want to see.

When you find the password, view it with a double-click.

Check the box next to Show Password .

In the pop-up window, enter the password you use when logging onto your computer and click Allow for one-time access (or Always Allow for longer-term access).

For some passwords, just click OK instead.

The password appears in the Password field at the bottom of the pop-up window.

What Is Keychain Access?

Keychain Access comes pre-installed on all Macs and is Apple's tool to save passwords. It saves usernames and passwords for Safari, Wi-Fi networks, and apps. It's Keychain Access that auto-fills your account info when you need to log in.

Because Keychain Access stores all of your passwords, it's also the place where you view saved passwords on your Mac. We'll assume you have some passwords in Keychain Access already, so follow these steps to look them up.

Keychain Access isn't the only password manager out there. Others (1Password is may be the most well-known) work in basically the same way. The exact steps differ based on the program you use, but you can look up passwords in those programs, too.

How to Sync Saved Passwords With iCloud Keychain

Like the idea of saving your passwords and having them autofill when you need them? Not only can you do so on a Mac, but it works on iPhone and iPad, too. That feature is called iCloud Keychain and it works just like other parts of iCloud: content is synced to all devices logged into the same iCloud account. So, if you set up iCloud Keychain on all your devices, they'll all have the same passwords. To do so, follow these steps.

• On Mac : Go to Apple menu > System Preferences > Apple ID > iCloud > check the box next to Keychain .
• On iPhone or iPad : Go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Keychain > move the iCloud Keychain slider to on/green.

How Do I View Saved Passwords in Chrome? 

Chrome is many people's preferred browser, but it doesn't work with Keychain (by default, at least; there's a browser extension to make Keychain compatible with Chrome ). Instead, Chrome saves passwords itself. Here's how to look up passwords in Chrome on a Mac.

Open Chrome > Chrome menu > Preferences > Autofill > Passwords .

Scroll down to the Saved Passwords section.

Click the eye icon next to the account whose password you want to view.

In the pop-up window, enter the password you use to log onto the computer and click OK .

The password appears in the Password column.

To hide the password again, click the eye icon.

If you forgot your Mac username and need it to log in, restart your Mac while pressing the power button + Command + S . When you see the command prompt, enter  ls /Users  into the box. You'll see a list of active usernames on the Mac. If you forgot your Mac login password and need to reset it, restart your Mac, then select your user account. Select the question mark in the password box, then select the arrow next to Reset it using your Apple ID . Enter your Apple ID and password, then follow the prompts to set a new login password.

You can find your saved Wi-Fi password on your Mac through Keychain. Launch Keychain Access, then go to System > Passwords . Locate your network name, click Show Password , then follow the authentication prompts. You can also find your Wi-Fi password using Terminal. Launch Terminal, then type security find-generic-password -ga WIFI NAME | grep "password:" into the box. Follow the authentication prompts and then you'll see your password.

5 Places to Find Saved Passwords on Your Mac

Let us walk you through all the different places to find saved passwords on your Mac.

It’s frustrating when you’re on a login page but can’t remember your password or the browser doesn’t autofill a saved password for you. If you think you have saved an account password somewhere on your Mac, but don’t remember the exact location, here are all the places to check for it.

1. In iCloud Keychain

iCloud Keychain is Apple’s built-in password manager for iPhone, iPad, and Mac devices. If you use multiple Apple devices, chances are your account passwords are saved here.

When you use Safari, it uses iCloud Keychain to show you a prompt or autofill saved passwords on the appropriate websites. But if this option doesn’t appear, you can look for those passwords manually. In macOS, you can access your saved iCloud Keychain passwords in Safari or System Preferences.

Find Saved Passwords in Safari

Follow these steps to view all your saved passwords in Safari for Mac:

• Open Safari and press the Cmd + Comma keys. Alternatively, from the top menu bar, you can click Safari > Preferences .
• Click Passwords and authenticate using your Mac’s password or Touch ID.
• Use the search box to find the password you need by entering the website name, username, or email. You can also scroll down the list of your saved passwords to find one.
• Once you find the desired saved account details, take your mouse pointer over the password dots to reveal it. From here, you can Control-click to copy the password.

Find Saved Passwords in System Preferences

To see your saved iCloud Keychain passwords in the System Preferences, open System Preferences and click Passwords . After that, authenticate using your Mac’s password or Touch ID. Just like Safari, use the search box or scroll the list manually to find the desired password. And if you find the password, hover your mouse over it to see or copy it with a Control-click.

2. In Third-Party Browsers

If you don’t use Safari—or you use it alongside other browsers—you might have some passwords saved in your third-party internet browsers. Most of these apps, like Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox, come with built-in password managers.

Finding Passwords in Chrome and Chromium Browsers

Chrome is the most popular browser, and you might use it as your preferred or second browser on Mac. If you signed up for a service or website on Chrome, chances are its password is saved in Google Password Manager.

Here’s how to access your saved passwords inside Chrome on Mac:

• Open Google Chrome and press Cmd + Comma . Alternatively, click Chrome from the menu bar and choose Preferences . Yet another way is to click the three dots icon in the top right and choose Settings .
• Click Auto-fill .
• Click Passwords .
• Use the search box or scroll down and see if you have saved the account credentials here. If you find the account, click the eye button and enter your Mac’s password to view the password. You can also click the three dots button and choose Copy password .

Besides Chrome, if you use another Chromium-based browser, like Microsoft Edge or Brave on your Mac, the steps to see your saved password should be identical, with some visual changes.

Finding Password in Firefox

If you use Firefox, then make sure you check its password manager and see if you find the account details saved here or not. Here’s how to do that:

• Open Firefox on your Mac and click the three lines icon from the top left.
• Now, use the search box or scroll through your saved passwords to find the one you need. From here, you can reveal the password or even copy it with a click.

3. In Password Manager Apps

Do you use a third-party password manager app on your Mac , like 1Password or Dashlane? If yes, open that and look for the saved password there.

It’s also possible that you haven’t downloaded the password manager app on your Mac, but you use its browser extension or use it on the web. So, make sure to check the website or extension accordingly.

4. In the Notes App

Some people save passwords in the notes app of their choice. If you faintly remember doing so, make sure you open the Apple Notes app, or any other notes app you use on your Mac, like Simplenote, Evernote, OneNote, and so on.

Go through the notes and folders to find one that has the password jotted down.

People who keep passwords inside notes may mention it in brief or indirectly so that a casual viewer of that note or someone who has access to their Mac can’t decode the password. For example, if the password is Timothy@August2021 , you might have written it as MyDog@AdoptionMonthYear .

Additionally, while you’re inside one of the notes apps, make sure to check your locked notes. Most likely, you secured the password by adding a lock to that note.

5. In Your Mac’s Folders

Besides the above places, it would be a good idea to check different folders, like Documents, Downloads, and Desktop, to look for screenshots, PDFs, or TXTs files that might have your password in them. Besides passwords, if you have misplaced a two-factor authentication backup code, you might be able to find that instead.

In addition to manually searching inside various folders, you can also press Cmd + Space to open Spotlight. Here, use search terms like TXT, Backup, or Password to see if you find something relevant.

Don’t Forget to Check Your Other Devices

By now, you know several places on your Mac to look for the saved passwords. But if you couldn’t find the password you need on your Mac, try searching on your mobile devices instead. It may be that you signed up for a service inside a web browser that doesn’t sync with your Mac. So, the password may be saved locally inside the browser on that device.

If All Else Fails, Reset the Password

Most likely, the passwords you’re looking for should be in one of the places on your Mac we mentioned above. However, if you still can’t find it, your only option is to reset the forgotten password and set a new one. Usually there are prompts on the login screen that allow you to reset a password. After you do that, make sure to save it in a password manager or note it down in a secure place so that you can avoid similar situations in the future.

How to Manage Your Passwords in Safari

Like other browsers, Safari has a built-in password manager that can autofill website usernames and passwords for you. Here's how to see, edit, and add saved passwords in Safari on the Mac and in iOS .

When you log into sites or create a new login, Safari will ask you if you want to save the password (and username). It can also save your credit cards and contact information. If you have iCloud 's Keychain Access set up, this saved information is also synced across your Mac and iOS devices in an encrypted file.

How to find passwords on a Mac, MacBook, and Mac Mini

If you opt to use iCloud Keychain over one of the popular password managers , then you already know its major benefit: Your passwords sync across your Apple devices. For example, you can save a password on your iPhone and then access it on your Mac.

Getting started finding passwords on Mac

How to find passwords on mac with system preferences, how to find passwords on mac with safari, how to see saved passwords on mac, copy, edit, or delete a password.

With the MacOS Monterey upgrade, Apple made it even easier to see saved passwords using System Preferences. For those who’ve decided not to upgrade to Monterey, though, you can still find your passwords with Safari. Let’s take a look at how to do both.

Reading the above, you probably realized one thing: To see passwords on your Mac, you’ll need to know your Mac’s keychain password. In other words, you need a password to find your passwords! So, be sure to know or locate your Mac’s keychain password before getting started.

• How to share your Outlook calendar

Totally stumped? You’ll have to reset your keychain password to access the others on your machine.

If you’re using MacOS Monterey or later, you have a dedicated spot in System Preferences for your passwords.

Step 1 : Click the Apple icon in your menu bar and pick System Preferences .

Step 2 : Select Passwords — it’s the key icon.

Step 3 : Enter the password for your Mac, or use your Apple Watch to unlock the section.

You’ll then see your list of passwords with an option to search for one in particular.

With earlier versions of MacOS, you can view saved passwords using Safari. If you do decide to upgrade to MacOS Monterey , you can find your passwords in either System Preferences or with Safari.

Step 1 : Open Safari.

Step 2 : Click Safari > Preferences from the menu bar.

Step 3 : Select the Passwords tab.

Step 4 : Enter the password for your Mac or use your Apple Watch to unlock the section.

When the passwords section is unlocked, you can browse through or use the search to find a specific password.

No matter which above option you use to find your saved passwords on Mac, you take the same action to view one. When you select a location on the left, such as a website, you’ll see your username and password on the right. Each password is masked for added security .

To see a password, place your cursor over the masked password on the right. This removes the mask for you to view the password.

Not what you were looking for? Find your Mac Wi-Fi password elsewhere.

Using iCloud Keychain, you can not only sync your passwords, but you can manage them as well.

To copy the password, click it and choose Copy Password . This places the password on your clipboard for you to paste where needed.

To change a password, click the Edit button. If you changed your password outside of Safari on your Apple device, you can update it here and click Save . To change the password from this Edit tool, click Change Password on Website .

To delete a password, click Edit . Press Delete Password on the bottom left and then confirm in the window that appears.

How to View Saved Passwords on Mac Safari

While passwords are vital for many websites, remembering dozens of passwords is nearly impossible. Luckily, you can rely on Safari to save your passwords for you and autofill them on your next login. But how do you view these saved passwords? 

Working in a computer repair store, I’m always helping my customers recover passwords from their web browsers. It seems like almost every day, someone is forgetting something. So, to help those who want to recover their own passwords, I’ve put together a few different options.

If you want to view saved passwords on Safari on your Mac, at least one of these methods will work for you. Let’s get into it!

Key Takeaways

Option 1: view passwords in system settings, option 2: view passwords in safari, option 3: using siri, alternative: using a password manager, final thoughts.

• Viewing your saved passwords on Safari on Mac is simple , and you can do it in a few quick steps.
• While it is an easy process, you should only save passwords for less sensitive accounts , and make sure to monitor your logins in the event of a data breach or compromise.
• Access your Saved passwords via System Settings, Safari, or Siri . Apple allows for easy access (for you! Not others) to any passwords that you have saved on your device.
• If you want a more robust solution to remember your login info for different websites, Setapp also has an application called Secrets that works as a highly secure password manager.

Personally, I have too many passwords to keep track of, and I could never remember them all. Plus, it is extremely unsafe to use the same password for multiple items. 

Relying on Safari to save your passwords for you is a good alternative. This way, they are all located in one central place, and are protected by FaceID, TouchID, and the Mac’s passcode. Passwords that are saved are also able to be safer because they can be longer, more complicated, and not related to personal information or patterns.

However, you should only save passwords for your less sensitive accounts, and remember to change them every now and then to prevent a worst-case scenario, like a hacked account or data breach. With that in mind, let’s look at the easiest way to view saved passwords on Safari.

When you need to view the passwords that are saved, Apple makes them easily accessible (but don’t worry, it’s only easy for you! ). The first option is to view passwords that you have saved in the System Settings of your Mac, iPhone, or iPad. 

On your Mac, Click the Apple Menu and hit System Settings .

In System Settings , navigate to Passwords on the left. 

Once you enter your password, you will be able to view Usernames and Passwords in an alphabetical list, airdrop passwords, change passwords on websites, delete the saved password, and set up verification codes. 

Another way to view your saved passwords is in the Safari application. 

With Safari open, click Safari on the menu bar at the top of your screen. Then hit Settings from the drop-down.  

In Settings , navigate to Passwords on the top. Enter your password or Touch ID to unlock your passwords.

In Safari, you have the same abilities as you do in the system settings. You are able to view the passwords, airdrop passwords, change passwords on websites, delete the saved password, or change the password on the associated website. 

You’re probably familiar with Siri from using it on the iPhone. But, did you know it is also an extremely easy way to find the password for a particular website or application? 

Activate Siri on your Mac or iPhone by saying “Hey Siri” and ask “Show me my password for _____ website”. 

If “Hey Siri” doesn’t work or you have it turned off, you can also activate Siri using the button in the menu bar as shown. 

Once Siri accesses your password, you will be asked to enter your password or TouchID and then will automatically be shown the password that you are looking for.

An additional option to store and save your passwords is to use Setapp’s Secrets application. Secrets uses encryption to save your passwords. This allows you to access your passwords with one passphrase and allows you to set up a passkey that is able to be used if you forget your password for the application. 

The application also creates strong passwords for you to use on websites. Similar to Apple, Secrets can autofill on Safari, but it can also autofill on Chrome. It also allows for iCloud Sync.

After you load the app for the first time and log in, you can create a new credential by hitting the Plus(+) sign.

Since Secrets integrates with Safari, you don’t need to waste time switching between applications when you need to access one of your passwords. Overall, it makes a good addition to your Mac’s operating security.

This article provided you with a few different ways to manage your passwords on your Mac for all different websites and applications. These methods require no additional applications to be downloaded on your Mac and use only the pre-installed abilities of the Apple macOS, iPhone, and/or iPad. 

If you don’t want to trust Safari with your passwords, or if you want to generate more secure login credentials automatically, Secrets is a good option. It works as a password manager for Mac and integrates with your favorite browsers for added security.

What is your favorite way to manage your passwords on your Mac? Have you used all of these methods before (I know the Siri method was a surprise for me!)? Let us know in the comments below.

Open Preferences: Once Safari is open, navigate to the top-left corner of your screen and click on "Safari" in the menu bar. A drop-down menu will appear, and within this menu, select "Preferences." Alternatively, you can use the keyboard shortcut "Command + ," to directly access the Preferences window.

Viewing Saved Passwords

Once you have accessed the Safari preferences window, you are just a few clicks away from viewing your saved passwords. Here's how you can proceed:

Select the "Passwords" Tab: Within the Safari preferences window, locate and click on the "Passwords" tab. This action will prompt Safari to request your system password or biometric authentication to proceed, ensuring an additional layer of security for accessing your stored passwords.

Authenticate Your Identity: Upon clicking the "Passwords" tab, Safari will require you to authenticate your identity using your system password or biometric credentials, such as Touch ID or Face ID. This security measure is in place to safeguard your sensitive login information, reinforcing the privacy and protection of your stored passwords.

View Your Saved Passwords: After successfully authenticating your identity, Safari will display a list of websites for which you have stored passwords. Each entry will typically include the website's URL and your associated username. By clicking on a specific entry, you can reveal the saved password for that website, providing you with the ability to access and reference the login credentials as needed.

Search Functionality: Safari also offers a convenient search functionality within the "Passwords" tab, enabling you to quickly locate specific websites or usernames within your stored passwords. This feature proves invaluable when you have numerous saved passwords and need to pinpoint a particular entry without scrolling through an extensive list.

Additional Details: In addition to displaying website URLs and usernames, Safari provides the option to view additional details for each saved password entry. This may include the date when the password was last updated, offering insights into the currency and security of your stored login credentials.

By following these steps, you can effortlessly view your saved passwords in Safari, gaining visibility into the array of websites for which you have stored login information. This accessibility empowers you to retrieve and reference your passwords as needed, streamlining your browsing experience and reinforcing the security of your online accounts. With the ability to view your saved passwords at your fingertips, you are better equipped to navigate the digital landscape with confidence and convenience.

Managing Saved Passwords

Managing saved passwords in Safari encompasses a range of actions that enable you to maintain the security and accessibility of your stored login credentials. Once you have accessed and viewed your saved passwords, it's essential to understand how to effectively manage and organize this sensitive information. Here's a comprehensive guide to managing your saved passwords in Safari on your Mac:

Editing Saved Passwords

Safari provides the flexibility to edit your saved passwords, allowing you to update or modify login credentials as needed. To edit a saved password, simply navigate to the "Passwords" tab within Safari preferences, locate the entry for the website whose password you wish to edit, and select the corresponding entry. This action will reveal the stored password, along with an option to edit the login details. By clicking on the "Edit" button, you can update the username or password associated with the selected website, ensuring that your stored credentials remain accurate and up to date.

Removing Saved Passwords

In instances where you no longer require a saved password or need to declutter your list of stored credentials, Safari enables you to remove saved passwords with ease. Within the "Passwords" tab, simply select the entry for the website from which you wish to remove the saved password. Upon selecting the entry, Safari provides an option to delete the stored password, allowing you to declutter your saved passwords and maintain a streamlined list of login credentials.

Adding New Saved Passwords

When you visit a website for which you haven't previously saved the login credentials, Safari offers a seamless method to add new saved passwords. Upon entering your username and password for a website, Safari will prompt you to save the login details. By opting to save the password, Safari will securely store the credentials for future use, streamlining your access to the website without the need to repeatedly enter the login information.

Security Considerations

As you manage your saved passwords in Safari, it's crucial to prioritize security and privacy. Safari employs robust encryption to safeguard your stored passwords, ensuring that your login credentials remain protected from unauthorized access. Additionally, Safari's integration with the iCloud Keychain provides a secure method to sync and access your saved passwords across your Apple devices, enhancing both convenience and security.

By mastering the art of managing saved passwords in Safari, you can effectively maintain the security and efficiency of your online accounts. Whether you need to edit, remove, or add new saved passwords, Safari equips you with the tools to streamline this process, empowering you to navigate the digital landscape with confidence and peace of mind.

View saved passwords in Safari on Mac with these easy steps

Safari offers a great feature to create and save the password in the built-in Safari AutoFill feature on Mac. The built-in password manager autofill website usernames and passwords for users for future logins and saving time.

Every time a user logs into a new website or with a new ID, Safari asks if the user wants to save the information or not. It also stores credit cards and contact information. Users with iCloud Keychain Access can set it up across multiple devices like iPhones and iPads as well.

It becomes really easy to use saved passwords in the browser without having to manually type in your passwords every time. However, users may want to view their passwords, edit them, or remove old credentials from stored information.

How to view saved passwords from Safari on Mac

Here is how users can view saved passwords from Safari on their Macs:

• Open Safari browser.
• Click Safari in the top left corner > Preferences .
• Click on the Passwords tab at the top.
• Enter your Mac’s password as passwords and other credentials are protected.
• A list view of all your saved passwords will appear on your screen.
• Click on an item to view, change, or delete a password.
• Users can double click any password or username to edit it.
• If you want to delete multiple passwords, hold the command key and start selecting items. Then click on Remove at the bottom right corner.

The autofill feature is a go-to solution for all Mac users when it comes to saving their passwords for easy access when logging in on a website. However, it can be a bit unsafe to save all your passwords on a browser. However, Apple has a very strict and well-protected cybersecurity system that is well trusted by users and is widely used by millions to sync and use all their passwords across multiple devices.

Where does apple store passwords, 1. via system settings, 2. via finder app, 3. via safari browser, 4. via google chrome, 5. via mozilla firefox.

Apple stores all your passwords in a pre-installed app called Keychain Access . This app can securely save your passwords and keypasses, ranging from Wi-Fi networks to applications and more, while auto-filling account information when needed. Operating through iCloud , it synchronizes data across all your Apple devices. And as obvious as it could get, you can find your stored passwords in this very same application.

However, similar to other password manager utilities, you need a password to view your stored passwords — the irony!

If you are using a third-party password manager, you can easily open the app to view and edit your saved passwords . However, if you use Keychain Access or store passwords directly within your browsers, here’s how to manually locate them.

Macs running on macOS Monterey and later versions feature a dedicated Passwords utility within the System Settings, providing direct access to Keychain Access.

• Click on the Apple menu at the top left corner and select System Settings .
• Go to Passwords and enter your user account’s password.
• From the left pane of the window, click on a website to view its details.
• Finally, click on the Edit button to view and edit the password.

For versions older than macOS Monterey that lack direct access to Passwords via System Preferences, the Finder app serves as a great alternative method.

• Launch the Finder application and go to Applications > Utilities > Keychain Access .
• Use the search bar at the top right corner and look for the app or service you need to see the password for.
• Go through the list and double-click on the one you need to view.
• Check the box next to Show password .
• When prompted, enter the passcode for your user account and click OK .

Keychain Access will only work if you are signed into iCloud. Otherwise, you’ll need to use Safari to view your saved credentials.

Find Passwords on Mac

If you’ve forgotten your user account password on a Mac, you can reset it by following these steps. Start by restarting your Mac and selecting your user account. Click on the question mark icon next to the password field, then choose “Reset it using your Apple ID.” Enter your Apple ID credentials and proceed to follow the provided instructions to set up a new password.

First, make sure that iCloud Keychain is enabled on the old Mac, which holds all your passwords. Set up your new Mac with the same Apple ID and enable iCloud Keychain on the new device. That’s it! Your passwords will now automatically sync across the two devices.

Apple prioritizes the safety and security of its users. That’s precisely why it provides a built-in password manager called Keychain Access, eliminating the need to depend on potentially harmful third-party apps. Additionally, it seamlessly syncs across all your Apple devices, serving as a comprehensive and secure one-stop solution.

How to view a saved password in safari on iphone and ipad.

If you've forgotten a website password but have saved it before using Safari on your iPhone or iPad, you can easily retrieve it. Here's how.

It can be frustrating when you need to log into a site on a different device or browser but you’ve lost the password. Luckily, if you've previously stored that password using Safari on iPhone or iPad , you can easily retrieve it. Here’s how.

First, launch "Settings," which can usually be found on the first page of your Home screen or on your Dock.

Scroll down the list of Settings options until you see "Passwords & Accounts." Tap it.

In the "Passwords & Accounts" section, tap "Website & App Passwords."

After you pass authentication (using Touch ID, Face ID, or your passcode), you will see a list of saved account information organized alphabetically by website name. Scroll through or use the search bar until you find the entry with the password you need. Tap it.

On the next screen, you will see account info in detail, including the username and the password.

If possible, memorize the password quickly and try to avoid writing it down on paper. If you often have trouble managing passwords, it's better to use a password manager instead .

2 Ways To Find Your Apple ID Password Without Resetting It

Are you also trying to find your Apple ID password without resetting it? Most people rely on Face ID or Touch ID to use Apple Pay, App Store, or to log in to any website. So, it’s very easy to forget the password. Luckily, you don’t need to reset it. You can retrieve your password using two simple methods. Here’s how.

2 Ways to Find Your Apple ID Password Without Resetting It

Technically, you cannot recover a forgotten password directly, but you can access it if it’s saved in iCloud Keychain or a browser. So, let’s explore both locations where your password might be saved.

1. Check Saved Passwords in Settings

Time needed:  2 minutes

2. Verify Your Browsers for Saved Passwords

If you didn’t find the password using the method above, then it means it’s not saved in the Safari browser. If you use another browser, it’s worth checking the saved passwords in its settings. Below, I’ve outlined the steps for retrieving passwords from the three most popular browsers.

2.1 Google Chrome

2.2 Firefox

2.3 Microsoft Edge

Tin just saved me like $100 wow! 👀

I recently tried out Tin, a Safari extension that's pretty much a game-changer for snagging the best online deals with zero hassle. Easy to set up and even easier to use, Tin acts like your personal bargain hunter, silently finding better prices on everything from tech to kitchen gadgets and giving you a heads-up on the savings. It's cool because it also shows the price history, helping you decide if it's the right time to buy.

Whether you're making big purchases or everyday buys, Tin keeps things private and secure, making it a must-have for effortless savings. Honestly, your wallet will thank you for this one.

Superb Shopping App

My friend raved about Tin, so I decided to give it a try. Within just 24 hours, I was blown away by how intuitive and helpful it is! The app is a breeze to set up, and the deals it finds are unreal. On my first shopping spree, I snagged discounts on several items that I've been eyeing for ages, effortlessly saving a hefty sum. Tin's automatic coupon feature at checkout is a game-changer – it feels like I have a personal assistant scouring the internet for the best deals, all for me. From tech gadgets to fashion finds, Tin has consistently delivered savings that make a difference. I can't recommend it enough – it's like having the inside scoop on the best sales every time I shop! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
