How to find your stored passwords in web browsers

When you log in to a website, have you ever received a message from your browser asking if you want to save a password? While that can be convenient, it can also be somewhat risky. Stored website passwords may be within reach of threat actors.

Although built-in browser password vaults can be easy to use, they may not be the most secure option for protecting your data. Browsers may encrypt credentials, require OS authentication, and sync securely with accounts, but they offer limited protection if a device itself is compromised. So while browser password managers are convenient, they typically lack advanced features offered by dedicated password managers, such as security audits or cross-platform vault management.

With that said, if you’ve saved passwords in a web browser, here’s how to check those:

Google Chrome

1. Open Google Chrome.
2. Click the three vertical dots in the upper-right corner, and find Passwords and autofill.
3. From the list, select Google Password Manager.
   

   

4. Here you can see your saved passwords.
   

   

You can also export passwords from Google Chrome on this page. In the top-right corner, click the Settings gear, then select Export passwords. Select the Download File button to download a .csv Excel file to your device, which you can use to import your logins into a new password manager.

Safari

1. Open Safari.
2. From the menu, go to Settings or Preferences.
3. Click Passwords.
   

   

4. Select Open Passwords.

Mozilla Firefox

1. Open Mozilla Firefox. 
2. Click the three horizontal lines in the upper-right corner to open the Firefox menu.
3. Select Passwords.
4. You can tap any login on the list or search to view your saved passwords.

Microsoft Edge

1. Open Microsoft Edge. 
2. Click the three horizontal dots in the upper-right corner and find Settings.

Why you should use a password manager

If you have more passwords saved in random places than you’re comfortable with, then a password manager service may help. These apps securely store your passwords and login credentials for numerous accounts in a password vault. Think of this as a secure, centralized place to store and manage your passwords.

Here are some of the benefits of password managers:

• Store all your passwords from all devices in one convenient location.
• Automatically fill in your login credentials with a click of a button on any website.
• Easily use built-in password generators to create complex passwords.
• Access password strength reports to help improve your security and change weak or reused passwords.
• Store encrypted notes and files.
• Enhance online security with features such as data breach monitoring and dark web scanning. 

How common are password managers on phones?

Storing your passwords on your phone is common. In a recent survey by the All About Cookies research team, we found that 63% of mobile users store passwords on their phones, with little difference between Android and iPhone users.

Remember, your saved passwords are only as secure as your device. That's why using a dedicated password manager, rather than relying solely on a built-in password vault that may lack advanced features such as cross-platform security tools, password health reports, and comprehensive MFA options, is recommended.

Best password managers

Dedicated password managers protect your encrypted password vault with a master password and securely sync it across your devices. Additionally, autofill services with broad compatibility offer even more convenience.
