[7 Tested Ways] Find Apple ID Password Without Resetting
If you often use Face ID or Touch ID for the App Store, it's easy to forget your Apple ID password. But there's no need to worry! We've got 7 really effective methods to help you recover your Apple ID password.
Check out the article below for a detailed, step-by-step guide on how to find your Apple ID password.
Selecting the Right Method
If you're looking to find your Apple ID password rather than change it, check Method 1, 2, and 3. Note that these methods need you to know your iPhone's screen passcode.
If you can access your iPhone/iPad screen passcode but can't use two-step verification, turn to Method 4. This method helps remove the iCloud account from your device, allowing you to sign in with a new iCloud account.
For those who have their device's screen passcode and can receive two-step verification codes via the phone number associated with iCloud, Methods 5, 6, and 7 are suitable for resetting the iCloud password.
Method 1: View Saved Apple ID Password in Settings
Steps:
Click on Settings and choose Passwords. If you are using iOS 13 or earlier versions, select Passwords & Accounts, then click Websites and App Passwords.
Use your Touch ID or Face ID when prompted or input your passcode.
Select a website to view its associated password.
If you wish to update a password, click Edit.
To delete a password, click Delete Password.
Method 2: Use Apple Safari to Find Apple ID Password
iCloud Keychain is Apple's password manager. It lets you keep your passwords synced on all your devices and auto-fills this information when using Safari. This function remembers these details, so you don't have to.
Steps on iPhone/iPad
Go to the Settings app on your iPhone/iPad.
Search "Autofill", then click Autofill Passwords.
Enter your device passcode.
Check if your Apple ID is available and choose it, then tap Password. You will then be able to find your Apple ID password.
Steps on the Mac
On your Mac, launch Safari.
From Safari's menu, select Preferences, then click Passwords.
Log in with your Touch ID or input your user account password. Alternatively, if you have an Apple Watch running on watchOS 6 or later, you can use it to authenticate your password.
You can then choose any website to see its stored password.
Tap on Edit if you wish to edit a password. To delete, tap Delete Password. To update a password, edit the password, then tap Save.
Alternatively, you may use your regular browsers, such as Google, to check the password. This method works because some browsers automatically save the password when you sign in to Apple services like iCloud.
Method 3: Find Apple ID Password via System Preferences on Your Mac
Steps:
Select the Apple menu, then go to System Preferences.
Tap Passwords.
Log in with your Touch ID or your user account password. If you have an Apple Watch running on watchOS 6 or later, you can use it to authenticate your password.
You can then choose any website to see its associated password.
If you wish to edit a password, click Edit, then tap Delete Password to erase the password. You can also update a password by changing it and clicking Save.
Reset Your Apple ID Password if You Can’t Find It
The above techniques can help you find your Apple ID password and instantly sign in to your account. However, you need to reset your password if you have not saved it or cannot find the password.

Your password should have eight or more characters consisting of upper and lowercase letters and at least one number. You may add extra characters and punctuation marks to strengthen it further.
Use two-factor authentication to protect your account
Set up 2FA for your Apple ID to create an extra layer of security for your account. This also eliminates the need for security questions.
Keep your trusted device, phone number, and recovery key safe.
This ensures you can easily reset your Apple ID password if you forget it.

If you abandon an email address or phone number associated with your Apple ID, update your Apple ID with current information as soon as possible.
Avoid sharing your Apple ID with others.
If you are using a public computer, sign out once your session is complete to prevent other people from accessing your account.
