Remembering passwords can be tricky, especially when you use multiple accounts and passwords for different services. In case you forget your Gmail password, Google has provided a way to reset it. But what if you want to view your current Gmail password? Unfortunately, for security reasons, Google doesn’t allow you to view your Gmail password, but there are a few workarounds.
Reset Gmail Password
If you don’t remember your Gmail password, the easiest way is to reset it. To do this, follow the steps below:
- Go to Gmail sign-in page.
- Enter your Gmail address and click ‘Next’.
- Click on ‘Forgot password?’.
- Follow the steps to reset your password.
View Saved Passwords in Browser
If you have saved your Gmail password in your web browser, you can view it from there. Here’s how to do it in Google Chrome:
- Open Google Chrome and click on the three-dot menu at the top-right corner.
- Select “Settings”.
- Scroll down and click on “Passwords” under “Autofill”.
- Here, you can see a list of saved passwords. Find your Gmail account.
- Click on the eye icon next to your Gmail account to view the saved password.
Note:
You may need to enter your computer’s password to view saved passwords.
Password Manager
If you often forget your passwords, using a password manager can be a good solution. A password manager is a tool that stores all your passwords securely. You only need to remember one ‘master’ password to access all your other passwords. Examples of password managers include LastPass, Dashlane, and 1Password.
Conclusion
While Google doesn’t allow you to view your Gmail password for security reasons, there are workarounds that can help you recover or reset it. Remember, it’s always a good practice to set a complex and unique password for your accounts and change them regularly. If you struggle with remembering your passwords, consider using a password manager.
