If you’ve forgotten a password but you know it was saved ѕomewhere on your computer, yоu can acceѕs your Windows saved passwords and see if it’s there. Windows actually keeps a list of all of your saved passwords and lets you access them when you want.
These saved passwords are from your web browsers, WiFi networks, and other services that you use on your computer. Revealing these passwords is fairly easy as there’s a built-in tool on your computer that lets you do it.
View Windows Saved Passwords Using The Credentials Manager
The feature that saves your login details on your Windows 10 computer is called Windows Credentials Manager. It keeps a track of all of your web as well as other Windows passwords, and lets you access and use them when needed.
The web passwords that it saves are usually from Internet Explorer and Edge. Your Chrome, Firefox, and other web browsers’ passwords won’t appear in the tool. For those browsers, you can check out their settings menu to find and access the option that shows your passwords.
- Search for Control Panel using Cortana search and open the panel.
- Click on the option that says User Accounts as the option you’re looking for is located there.
- On the following screen, click on the option that says Credential Manager to open the tool on your computer.
- When the Credential Manager opens, you’ll see mainly two tabs called Web Credentials and Windows Credentials.
The Web Credentials section hosts all of your browser passwords. These are the passwords that you use to log-in to various websites.
The Windows Credentials stores your other passwords, such as your NAS drive password, and so on. Unless you’re in a corporate environment, you likely won’t use this section.
- To reveal the password for an entry, click on the down-arrow icon next to it. Then, click on the link that says Show next to Password.
