If you use a personal computer, you may have saved your passwords when logging into websites that require them. Browsers like Google Chrome or Firefox offer the option to save passwords, which can be convenient as you don't have to enter them again the next time you visit that website. However, people often forget their passwords, especially if they use different ones for different websites, even if they've saved them on their internet browser.
When trying to sign in to these websites on another computer, people may only see their usernames and black dots representing their passwords. However, there is a place in their browsers where they can view all saved passwords. In this article, we will use Google Chrome as an example.
How to View Your Passwords & Usernames
To view your passwords and usernames, open your Google Chrome browser on your PC and click on the three parallel dots in the upper right corner to access the control and customization menu. Then click on "Settings" to open the settings panel and select "Show advanced settings" to reveal more options. Scroll down and click on "Manage passwords."
Here, you will see all the usernames and passwords saved from different websites on your internet browser. The passwords are hidden behind black dots. Scroll down to the one you want to reveal and click on "Show." You will then be prompted to enter your Windows log-on password as an extra security measure.
It's important to be careful who knows your Windows log-on password because anyone with access to it can view all your saved passwords on Google Chrome.
