Your Apple ID is not only your credentials for purchasing digital content and using services from Apple, it's also an important tool for managing your personal information, devices, and data.
If you forget your Apple ID password, you can experience some troubles, such as not being able to access iCloud. Since some users find resetting their passwords to be a lengthy process, this article will discuss a few ways to get your Apple ID password back without resetting it.
Yes, of course you can, otherwise this article is comical. But before following the guide to retrieve your Apple ID password without resetting it, you need to understand that these methods are only applicable when certain conditions are met. If none of these methods work, then resetting your Apple ID password is the only solution left, even if it is troublesome. Next, let's get to the point.
Apple's Password Keychain is an excellent password manager for securely storing various passwords and credentials you use on your Apple devices, including Apple ID passwords, website passwords, Wi-Fi network passwords, and more. It allows users to synchronize the same passwords across multiple devices.
To find your Apple ID password, go to "Settings" > "Apple ID" > "iCloud" > "iCloud Passwords & Keychains" and check if "Sync this iPhone" is turned on. This is the key for the method to work.
If you have previously signed in to Apple ID on Mac and saved the password in the keychain, you can easily retrieve your Apple ID password from it. Here are the detailed steps to find your Apple ID password on Mac without resetting it.
Step 1: On a Mac that is already signed in with your current Apple ID, launch Safari.
Step 2: Go to the menu and select "Preferences" > "Passwords". When prompted, enter your Mac's user account password to verify your identity.
Step 3: You will see a list where you can select any website to view, edit or delete its stored passwords.
Locate the website where you may have used your Apple ID to sign in to find its password, such as appleid.apple.com or icloud.com/find.
Assuming your iCloud password and keychain are enabled, your password will be automatically saved on your device and you can view the stored password on your iPhone or iPad.
Step 1: Open the "Settings" menu of your iPhone or iPad.
Step 2: Swipe down and tap on the "Passwords" option, you will be asked to verify FaceID, Touch ID or screen passcode.
Step 3: After verification, you will see a list of saved website passwords. Click on the website associated with your Apple ID and check the relevant login details to show the password.
Usually, the browser provides the option to save the login information. When you first sign in to your Apple ID, it asks if you want to save your password. If you agree, the browser stores this information in a password management system. This means that if you have previously saved your Apple ID password using the browser, you can retrieve it in its password manager.
Considering that every user has their own preferred browser, we'll just use Chrome as an example here, but the instructions are similar for all other browsers.
Step 1: Open Chrome and click on the menu button (three vertical dots) in the upper right corner and select the "Settings" option.
Step 2: Click on the "Autofill and passwords" option, which will then open a list of all the passwords you have saved on Chrome.
Step 3: Search through the list of passwords to locate the Apple related website, click on the target website and then enter the Windows login password.
Click on the "eye" icon and your Apple ID password will be displayed in the password box.
Even if it's not the answer you're looking for, but if you've forgotten your Apple ID password, and none of the above methods apply to you, then obviously resetting your Apple ID password is one of the simpler solutions out there.
Option 1: Turn on your iPhone and navigate to "Settings" > [Your Name] > "Sign-In & Security" > "Change Password", follow the instructions to complete the reset process.
