How to find passwords on a Mac, MacBook, and Mac Mini

Wondering how to find passwords on Mac? You have a couple of convenient places to access saved passwords on MacOS.

If you opt to use iCloud Keychain over one of the popular password managers, then you already know its major benefit: Your passwords sync across your Apple devices. For example, you can save a password on your iPhone and then access it on your Mac.

For the past few years, Apple has made it even easier to see saved passwords using System Preferences. For those who’ve decided not use the latest MacOS update, though, you can still find your passwords with Safari. Let’s take a look at how to do both.

Reading the above, you probably realized one thing: To see passwords on your Mac, you’ll need to know your Mac’s keychain password. In other words, you need a password to find your passwords! So, be sure to know or locate your Mac’s keychain password before getting started.

Totally stumped? You’ll have to reset your keychain password to access the others on your machine.

If you’re using MacOS Monterey or later, you have a dedicated spot in System Preferences for your passwords.

Step 1: Click the Apple icon in your menu bar and pick System Preferences.

Step 2: Select Passwords — it’s the key icon.

Step 3: Enter the password for your Mac, or use your Apple Watch to unlock the section.

You’ll then see your list of passwords with an option to search for one in particular.

With earlier versions of MacOS, you can view saved passwords using Safari. Since MacOS Monterey, you can find your passwords in either System Preferences or with Safari.

Step 2: Click Safari > Preferences from the menu bar.

Step 3: Select the Passwords tab.

Step 4: Enter the password for your Mac or use your Apple Watch to unlock the section.

When the passwords section is unlocked, you can browse through or use the search to find a specific password.

No matter which above option you use to find your saved passwords on Mac, you take the same action to view one. When you select a location on the left, such as a website, you’ll see your username and password on the right. Each password is masked for added security.

To see a password, place your cursor over the masked password on the right. This removes the mask for you to view the password.

Using iCloud Keychain, you can not only sync your passwords, but you can manage them as well.

To copy the password, click it and choose Copy Password. This places the password on your clipboard for you to paste where needed.

To change a password, click the Edit button. If you changed your password outside of Safari on your Apple device, you can update it here and click Save. To change the password from this Edit tool, click Change Password on Website.

To delete a password, click Edit. Press Delete Password on the bottom left and then confirm in the window that appears.

If you have misplaced, forgotten, or simply don’t know your password, these tips should work for you. But they don’t cover everything. For example, you’ll need another method to find your Mac Wi-Fi password.

Nearly a month after announcing the GPT-6.1 Sol model, OpenAI unveiled GPT-6.1 Terra today. The latest addition to the family focuses on computer use, visual reasoning, coding, and professional work, while costing 50% less through the API than GPT-5.6 Terra.

OpenAI says Terra can handle everything from filling out browser forms and working inside spreadsheets to interpreting technical drawings and editing videos. The company says it can also complete computer-based tasks more than three times faster than GPT-6 Astra and GPT-6.1 Sol.

ASUS has started selling its UGen Intel Arc Pro B70 graphics card in Europe, bringing its take on Intel’s workstation GPU to customers with a hefty €1,799 recommended price. The card is available in Germany and Austria, while ASUS lists it at CHF 1,799 in Switzerland.

Intel first introduced the Arc Pro B70 in March 2026, with its own branded model starting at $949. ASUS’s version arrives several months later with the same core GPU architecture but a different cooling design and a higher power rating. The price also places it well above Intel’s original starting point, although the two prices are not directly comparable because ASUS’s European figure includes VAT.

Anthropic has officially filed to go public, and buried inside its S-1 is a blunt warning about the technology at the center of its business. The maker of Claude AI says advanced AI could cause everything from large-scale cyberattacks and geopolitical instability to catastrophic or even existential risks for humanity.

The warnings take up a surprisingly large part of the filing. Axios notes that more than 90 pages, or roughly a third of the prospectus, focus on risk factors. Many of them warn about what could happen as AI systems become more capable and autonomous.
