At the bottom of the window, check Show password to reveal the password in plain text View more details about the item, such as the account name and passwordĦ. A new window then opens with more details about the particular entry, such as its name, type (web password, app password, etc), and any additional account details – all this is shown in the Attributes tab. Select the one you’re interested in, and then press the tiny little “ i” button which can be found at the very bottom of the window Highlight “All Items” and locate the item using the search fieldĥ. For example to view your Facebook password, type Facebook into the search field to display all relevant results. Now enter the name of the application or website whose password you want to locate, using the search box at the top right of the window. You may need to enter your admin password to access everythingĤ.

Just click the lock, enter your administrator password and hit OK. Access to the items is normally locked (indicated by the little padlock at the top left). Keychain Access lists all your passwords including apps and websitesģ. You’ll notice that the main window is populated with a long list of all passwords, certificates and keys stored on your Mac as shown below. When it opens, make sure that All Items is selected in the left-hand Category section. Alternatively, just type its name into Spotlight (use the COMMAND + SPACEBAR shortcut) and launch it from there.Ģ.

The first thing to do is to open Keychain Access, which can be found in the Applications -> Utilities folder.
