How To View Saved Passwords on Any Device [2026]

You can view saved passwords in your browser’s password settings, your phone’s built-in password manager, or your computer’s system settings. Below, we’ll show you exactly where to find passwords saved in Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge, Android, iPhone, Mac, and Windows.

How to find your stored passwords in web browsers

When you save a password in a browser, it’s usually protected by encryption and your device’s sign-in methods, such as a password, PIN, Touch ID, or Face ID. That makes built-in password tools convenient for quick access. However, a dedicated password manager may offer more advanced features, such as password health checks, breach alerts, secure sharing, and broader cross-platform support.

If you’ve saved passwords in your browser, here’s where to find them.

Google Chrome

1. Open Google Chrome.
2. Click the three-dot menu in the upper-right corner.
3. Select Passwords and autofill > Google Password Manager.
   

   

4. Browse or search for the account you want.
5. Select the entry, then verify your identity if prompted to reveal the saved password.
   

   

You can also export passwords from this page. Click the Settings gear, choose Export passwords, and follow the prompts to download a CSV file. Because exported files aren’t protected the same way as passwords stored in your vault, delete the file as soon as you finish importing it into another password manager.

Safari

1. Open Safari.
2. From the menu bar, select Safari > Settings or Preferences.
3. Click Passwords.
   

   

4. Select Open Passwords if prompted.
   

   

5. Enter your Mac password or use Touch ID.
6. Browse or search your saved logins in the Passwords app.

Microsoft Edge

1. Open Microsoft Edge.

5. Choose an entry from the Passwords section, then verify your identity if needed to view the password.

How to find saved passwords on a Mac

You can view saved passwords on a Mac in macOS Settings or the Passwords app, depending on your macOS version.

macOS Ventura and later

How to find saved passwords in Windows

In Windows, the most common place to check saved credentials is Credential Manager. Some older command-based methods still exist, but they’re mainly legacy options and may not show the same information on every system.

Windows Credential Manager

1. Open the Control Panel.
2. Select User Accounts.
   

   

3. Click Credential Manager.
   

   

4. Review both Web Credentials and Windows Credentials to find the account you need.
5. Select the entry to expand it.
   

   

6. If the option is available, click Show next to the password and enter your Windows sign-in details when prompted.
   

   

Legacy command-line method

This older method opens the legacy Stored User Names and Passwords window. Because Windows users will usually find more relevant information in Credential Manager, make that your first option.

1. Type Command Prompt into the Windows search bar.
2. Select Run as administrator.
   

   

3. Approve the User Account Control prompt if it appears.
4. In Command Prompt, enter rundll32.exe keymgr.dll,KRShowKeyMgr and press Enter.
   

   

5. Review the stored usernames and passwords window that appears.

Why you should use a password manager

If your passwords are scattered across browsers, devices, notes apps, and old accounts, a password manager service can help you keep everything in one place. These tools store your login details in an encrypted vault and make it easier to organize, update, and autofill credentials across accounts.

Password managers can help you:

• Keep passwords from multiple devices and browsers in one place.
• Autofill logins across websites and apps.
• Generate stronger passwords with built-in password generators.
• Check for weak, reused, or compromised passwords with security monitoring tools.
• Store secure notes and, with some services, files or sensitive documents.
• Add features such as breach alerts, secure sharing, and emergency access, depending on the provider.

How common are password managers on phones?

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

No matter where you store passwords, your account security still depends on good device protection, software updates, and strong authentication. For people who want more security features and easier cross-device access, a dedicated password manager can be a stronger long-term option than relying on one built-in tool alone.

Bottom line

Most devices make it fairly easy to view saved passwords, whether they’re stored in your browser, phone, or computer settings. If you manage logins across multiple devices or want extra features such as password health checks, breach monitoring, and secure sharing, a dedicated password manager may be worth considering.
