How to Check Saved Passwords in Your Browser

Our lives are filled with passwords, security questions and personal identification numbers. Almost every smart device and software we use have some security features which involves setting a unique password to keep our data safe. From email accounts to social media accounts, you name it; every one of those accounts has a username and a password associated with it.

Sometimes you may feel like you’re losing your mind trying to remember all the passwords of your accounts and devices. However, now the internet browsers provide the ‘save password’ feature that allows users to save their account credentials when they visit a website for the first time. This way, users don’t have to enter the password the next time they visit the same site.

However, if you’re accessing the same site from another browser, on which the password isn’t saved, then you will need the password to log into your account. If you can’t seem to remember the password for your account, then you can check the saved password on the browser where all the account passwords are kept. This guide is all about how to check saved passwords in your browser.
