How Do I See My Passwords in iCloud Keychain?

Plus, on iOS devices, it’s possible to enable the tool to automatically fill your iCloud saved passwords and personal information. This makes using iCloud Keychain a handy method of safely storing sensitive data and having it forever accessible within Apple’s ecosystem.

Every now and then, there are situations where you might need to actually view your passwords. This is especially the case if you’re using strong passwords to improve security and prevent them from being guessed or stolen.

Moreover, another great advantage of using iCloud Keychain is that it suggests complex passwords when logging into a new website or app.

There are three ways to view your iCloud passwords on a Mac:

Finally, the third way to access your passwords is by launching the Keychain Access app. This alternative also allows you to find passwords synced with other devices under the iCloud category.

However, the biggest plus of using Keychain Access is that you can also view your secure notes and certificates, which aren’t displayed in System Settings or Safari.

Activating iCloud Keychain on your Apple mobile devices is the perfect way to keep your credentials safe and synced across all devices. Once you set it up, here’s how to view an iCloud Keychain password on an iPhone or iPad:

If you want to change the login details, click ‘Edit’. To remove it, click on ‘Delete Password’. Alternatively, to take a shortcut you can get Siri’s attention and say, “show my passwords”.

Additionally, we advise you to click ‘Security Recommendations’ on ‘Passwords’ and enable the option ‘Detect Compromised Passwords’, which allows the device to securely monitor your passwords and alert you if they appear in known data leaks.

Finally, it’s worth noting that those not limited to Apple’s ecosystem can also access iCloud Keychain on Windows.
