If you’ve forgotten a password, but you know it’s stored somewhere on your computer, you can open your saved Windows passwords and see if it’s there. Windows keeps a list of all your saved passwords and lets you access them whenever you want.
How to Find Saved Passwords in Windows 10 | Where Are Passwords Stored in Windows
These saved passwords come from your web browsers, WiFi networks, and other services that you use on your computer. Revealing these passwords is quite easy, as there is a built-in tool on your computer that allows you to do this.
The feature that stores your login information on your Windows 10 computer is called Windows Credentials Manager. It keeps track of all your web passwords and other Windows passwords and lets you access and use them whenever you need to.
The web passwords it stores are mostly from Internet Explorer and Edge. The passwords from your Chrome, Firefox and other web browsers are not displayed in the tool. For those browsers, you can check the settings menu to find and open the option that shows your passwords.
