How To I See My Gmail Password

by

Forgetting your Gmail password is a common issue, especially if you have multiple accounts or haven’t logged in for a while. Fortunately, Google has measures in place to protect your password and prevent it from being viewed directly for security purposes. However, there are methods to retrieve or reset your password. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to do so.

Resetting Gmail Password

To reset your Gmail password, simply follow these steps:

  1. Visit the Gmail login page and click on “Forgot Password?”
  2. Google will ask you to enter the last password you remember using with this Google Account. You can also choose “Try another way” where Google will send a verification code to your backup email or phone number.
  3. Once you verify your identity, you’ll be able to create a new password.

Viewing Saved Passwords on Web Browsers

If you’ve saved your Gmail password on your web browser, then you can view it there.

Google Chrome

To view your saved password on Google Chrome, follow these steps:

  1. Open Chrome and click on the three vertical dots in the upper right corner.
  2. Go to Settings > Passwords. Here you’ll see a list of all your saved passwords.
  3. Find Gmail and click on the eye icon beside it. You may need to enter your computer password to view it.

Mozilla Firefox

For Firefox, the process is as follows:

  1. Open Firefox and click on the three horizontal lines at the top right corner.
  2. Go to Logins and Passwords.
  3. Find Gmail and click on the eye icon to view your password.

Security Warning

While the ability to view saved passwords can be convenient, it can also pose a security risk if others have access to your computer. It’s always a good idea to protect your computer with a strong, unique password and never leave it unattended when logged in.

Remember, these methods will only work if you have previously saved your password on your browser. If not, then you will have to reset your password as explained above.
