How to see Google password on PC

If your goal is to see the Google password on your PC, in the next chapters I will explain how to do this using some of the most popular web browsers .

Edge (Windows / macOS / Linux)

To see the Google password on Edge , start the latter through its icon on the desktop and, on the main screen, press the icon (…) at the top right. Now, click on the Settings item and then on the Profile side tab .

In the screen that is shown to you, press on the Password item to see the list of passwords saved on Edge. Now, using the search bar at the top, type the term google.com to locate the stored Google account in the list below. To read the password, press on the eye icon and enter the password or PIN of your PC account and press the OK button .

Google Chrome (Windows / macOS / Linux)

If you use Google Chrome , you can find the passwords you have saved from time to time while browsing the web, through a special panel. If when you logged in to one of the Google services you agreed to save your account login credentials, they will be available in the Password Manager .

To reach this section, you can proceed either via the Chrome settings panel, or via the Web shortcut, using the URL passwords.google.com . The stored access credentials, in fact, are also synchronized in an encrypted cloud space associated with the Google account added to Google Chrome.

In case you want to reach the Password Manager through the Google Chrome panel , press the ⋮ icon, located at the top right, and choose the Settings> Autofill> Password items on the screen that is shown to you.

At this point, in the list you see, use the text box at the top to search for your Google account credentials. For example, if you want to recover your Google Drive password , type the domain google.com , so that you can filter the search and only find all the Google accounts that have been saved.

Once this is done, if you use the Google Chrome settings panel, press the eye icon to view the password. If, on the other hand, you are logged in to the cloud service for password management, click on Google.com and press on the icon with the eye to read the password. To access the information you've requested, you may be prompted to re-enter your primary Google Account password.

Mozilla Firefox (Windows / macOS / Linux)

All the access credentials entered during web browsing are stored on the Mozilla Firefox browser , if the user agrees to save them by responding in the affirmative to the browser's request. The password archive can be synchronized online with your Firefox account , if one is associated with the program.

To access the section relating to the logins saved on Firefox , start the browser on your PC, click on the menu icon located at the top right and select the Settings> Privacy and security items in the screens you see. Once this is done, press the Saved credentials button , which you find in the Credentials and password section , in order to open a new box.

In the screen that is shown, use the search bar at the top to search for your Google account credentials. For example, if you want to recover your Google Meet password , type the term google.com to filter the list of all saved passwords. Once you have located the Google account whose password you want to see, click on the eye icon to see the password.

Internet Explorer (Windows)

Internet Explorer remembers passwords typed while browsing in the Credential Management section of the operating system 's Control Panel . To access this section, click on the icon with the magnifying glass , located in the lower left corner of the taskbar (on Windows 10 ), or click on the Start button (the flag icon located in the at the bottom left of the screen).

Once this is done, use the search field in the menu that opens ( Windows 8.x and earlier). Now, in the text field that is shown to you, type the terms "control panel" and select the corresponding search result.

Once this is done, in the Windows Control Panel window , select the items User Accounts> Web Credential Management , to view the list of all accounts saved while browsing the Web. Then scroll down the list until you find the result relating to accounts .google.com , and press the ▼ icon next to it.

At this point, press on the word Show that you find next to the Password item and unlock the screen using the login credentials of your user account on Windows, so as to read the password of the Google account.

If you have a Mac , use the default Safari browser and have decided to store the passwords of websites in it, seeing the Google password is a very simple operation.

First, start Safari , and click on the Safari> Preferences items that you find in the menu bar, at the top left. At this point, in the screen that is shown to you, select the Password tab and type your Mac password to unlock this section (you can also use the Apple Watch paired with the Mac or the Touch ID integrated into the Mac).

Now, use the search bar to find your Google account credentials. For example, if you want to see your Google Classroom password , type the term google.com . Once you have located the Google account whose password you want to see, click on it to read the keyword (in the Password column ). Simple, right?

If you are using macOS 12 Monterey or later, you can also use the Keychain available in System Preferences: to access it, click on the Apple icon in the menu bar and select System Preferences> Passwords ; then type your Mac password or identify via Touch ID or Apple Watch and you will be able to view the list of saved credentials. To read the Google password, move the mouse cursor over it.

Even on smartphones and tablets, therefore also on Android and iOS / iPadOS , the passwords typed during web browsing can be saved: in the next chapters I will show you how to see them by operating from the most famous browsers.

Google Chrome (Android / iOS / iPadOS)

On smartphones and tablets with Android and iPhone / iPad operating system , using Google Chrome it is possible to store all the passwords entered during web browsing.

In case you want to view the Google password saved in this browser, you can use the web panel at passwords.google.com , to access the list of credentials saved both on a mobile device and from a PC, as well as I pointed out to you in this chapter .

How to recover Google password

In case you were not able to view your Google account password using the advice I gave you in the previous chapters relating to the PC browser or those for smartphones , you can consider resetting your Google account password .

To do this, start the browser you usually use to surf the Internet from your PC, smartphone or tablet and go to accounts.google.com . Once this is done, type in the email address of the Google account or the phone number associated with it and press the Next button .

Specifically, you may be prompted for the last password you remember associated with your Google account, verification by code sent via SMS to the linked phone number, the answer to the secret question , the month and year when it was created. the account or verification by code sent to the backup email address .

If you have chosen one of the recovery methods among those previously set, you will simply have to answer the question proposed on the screen, by pressing the confirmation button, in order to type the new password to be set on the Google account.

How to keep the Google password
