                                                                                                                                                     – A User from Samsung Support Communities

I believe this Samsung user’s situation is by no means an isolated case, if you happen to also struggle with how to find various passwords on your own device, please follow this article to find out.

So why is this a problem? Nowadays, with the development of technology, the functions of cell phones are becoming more and more perfect. One of the features is that you don’t need to remember your password, but remember it through the device itself or your browser. In fact, it’s so convenient that most users choose to let their phones remember their passwords.

But this may also lead to the issue mentioned at the beginning, that is, some users may forget their passwords and when they want to find them, they don’t know where to find them. This article uses 3 ways to help users find these passwords. (Take Samsung device as an example)

Way 1. Find Password in Samsung Settings

Nowadays, most of the cell phones have the function to help users save their passwords. Therefore, the easiest way to find the saved password is to go to settings and find the place where the password is stored.

1. Heat to Settings.
2. Locate and click Lock Screen and Security.
3. Click Show or Hide.
4. After that, you can click an app icon to see the saved password.

Way 2. Find Biometrics Authentication from Samsung Pass

I believe that if you can’t find your wifi password or any other password, you may wonder does Samsung have a password manager? Of course, Samsung device has a very useful function, that is Samsung Pass. And you can use fingerprint, iris, or face recognition to log into your accounts, so you do not need to input an ID & Password to log in to websites anymore. This greatly saves the user’s time. But sometimes, some users may forget what password they used in a certain page, so now they can check it through Samsung pass. However, please note that this can only be found on sites where you have used biometric authentication or account.

If that’s what you’re looking for, then please refer to the following steps to find the Samsung Pass:

Step 1: Please select Settings > Biometrics and security.

Step 2: And you can see Samsung Pass from the drop-down menu.

Step 3: And under the Sign-in page, you will find a list of the accounts and websites that you are currently logged into using Samsung Pass.

Way 3. Wi-Fi Password Recovery Tool – DroidKit

If what you are looking for is the password of the wifi and at the same time you can’t find it by the above two methods, you can try the DroidKit. It can help you find the Wi-Fi password easily.

Now find the WiFi password in just 6 easy steps:

Step 1. After downloading DroidKit, please launch the software and click Data Extractor from Google Account function.

Step 2. Please select Google Backups and click WiFi to start.

Step 3. Please sign in with your Google account and keep a stable internet connection.

Step 4. After authorized, your backups will be detected and you can download a desired one.

Step 5. After downloading, you can preview the data. And then, you can choose the data to export it To Device or To Mac/PC. 

Way 4. Find Stored Web/Account Passwords from Chrome

Unlike the above method, this method works with most Android devices. But we’ll take a Samsung phone as an example as well. In fact, if you want to find the stored password then you need to make sure that chrome is remembering your password by default before. Because if you often use Google to log in to a website and the page requires your login and password, you will definitely see a prompt asking you if you want to save your account and password after you finish logging in. If you choose yes, then congratulations, you can use Google to retrieve your password if you cannot remember your password for the account you have logged into. It only takes a few clicks.

Step 1. Open a Chrome app on your Samsung phone.

Step 2. Click on the three dots in the upright corner and you’ll see Settings.

Step 3. After entering Settings page, please click Passwords. And you’ll see a list of all your saved passwords.

The Bottom Line

In general, there are several ways to find the password on your Samsung device, but each one has its limitations. Samsung pass helps you find the app or website that uses biometric authentication. Chrome mainly helps you find accounts and passwords that have been logged in and stored on Google pages. And the Droidkit help you find the Wi-Fi password specifically. So, in order to help you find the maximum number of passwords, please try all three methods.
