How to Find Your Apple ID Password Without Resetting It on iPhone/Mac

There are multiple places where your Apple ID password could already be saved and you may not even remember saving it. So, here are all the ways to find your Apple ID password on iPhone and Mac.

Note: Some people also have a habit of jotting down passwords, so your first stop could be a notebook, a digital notepad, or a bookkeeping app.

Way 1. Find Your Apple ID Password in Settings

Your Apple ID password could be in your Settings app if you saved it through Safari, iCloud Keychain, or a browser login. And yes, multiple Apple IDs can be stored too, each with its own record. Here’s how to dig it up on iPhone and Mac.

Note: This method is not available on iOS 18 or macOS Sequoia (15) or later. These systems replaced this feature with the new Passwords app.

On iPhone

Step 1. Open the Settings app and select Passwords. On iOS 13 or earlier: Go to Settings > Passwords & Accounts and then proceed similarly.

Step 2. You’ll have to authenticate with Face ID or Touch ID.

Step 3. Look for and tap entries like appleid.apple.com, icloud.com, or idmsa.apple.com whichever shows your Apple ID email. And it’ll reveal both the email and password saved under it.

On Mac

Step 1. In the top pane, click Apple Menu icon and choose System Settings. Then, select Passwords.

Step 2. Authenticate as usual with the Touch ID or Mac user password.

Step 3. In the list, find apple.com.icloud.com or appleid.apple.com. Click any of these 2 entries to uncover the stored Apple ID email and its password.

Way 2: Use the Passwords App to Get Apple ID Password(iOS 18/macOS 15+)

With iOS 18 and macOS Sequoia (15), Apple split off the old Passwords section from Settings into a full-fledged Passwords app. So, use this method to find the Apple ID credentials if you are running the compatible OS:

On iPhone (iOS 18 or Later)

Step 1. Just open the Passwords app. Inside, tap All or Passkeys to browse through what’s saved from Safari or iCloud Keychain.

Step 2. Look for entries like appleid.apple.com or icloud.com—your Apple ID login will be one of them. Tap the entry and select Edit to reveal the password, which otherwise stays hidden in dots.

On Mac (macOS Sequoia or Later)

Step 1. Open the Passwords app directly. Authenticate using Touch ID or enter your Mac user password.

Step 2. Once inside, pick the apple.com entry. Then hit Edit to reveal the full password.

Way 3. Look up Apple ID Password in Safari

Safari on Mac remembers your passwords too. If you signed into your Apple ID through Safari and chose to save the login, your password can be easily located. And if iCloud Keychain is on, what you saved on iPhone or iPad often appears here too.

There’s no such option inside Safari on iOS. However, it will still allow auto-fill if you’ve turned on iCloud Keychain.

Here’s how to get to it:

Step 1. Open Safari. From the Safari menu at the top-left, choose Settings.

Step 2. Hit the Passwords tab.

Step 3. Use Touch ID or your Mac login password to continue.

Step 4. Find the site labeled appleid.apple.com or a similar Apple login. At the far-right of that row, click the small “i” icon to uncover the saved password.

Way 4. View Apple ID Password in Chrome

If you’ve logged in to iCloud.com or Apple ID pages in the Chrome browser and chose to save the login info, then it’s automatically gets stored in your Google Password Manager. Now, you can view it directly from your iOS Chrome app or macOS Chrome browser.

On iPhone

The steps are:

Step 1. Open the Chrome app and tap the three dots to reveal the options of Settings. Then, scroll to Password Manager and select it.

Step 2. From the list, select the Apple ID and click the eye icon to reveal the password.

On Mac

In the Chrome desktop:

Step 1. Click on the same three dots in the upper right corner to go to Settings. Or simply use this URL: chrome://settings/passwords. This will open the password manager directly.

Step 2. From here, locate the apple.com website and click the eye icon to view the password. Chrome will ask you to verify your identity. Do that and the password will show up.

Way 5. Check Apple ID Password in Password Manager

If you’ve used any third-party password manager before, like 1Password, Bitwarden or LastPass, your Apple ID login will already be saved there. Here’s an example of how to find your Apple ID password from 1Password.

On iPhone

Open 1Password. Search for Apple account by name and choose the entry. The password will be hidden at first. You need to unlock it with Face ID or passcode. Instantly, you’ll have it in front of you.

On Mac

Launch 1Password on your Mac.

Use the search bar at the top to look up “Apple” or “iCloud” and the matching login will show up.

Select the target Apple ID. After authenticating with your Mac’s login or Touch ID, you can view the password, links, and even saved security answers in one place.
