Passwords & Accounts: reveal password for email - only dots show up

How can I see, on my iPhone, my email password? I found where it's located: Settings>Passwords & Accounts>. I can see all of my website and App passwords but not the email passwords. Email passwords are blocked with dots. Thanks ahead of time for helping me out.


iPhone 6s, 12

The only way that you can see your email account passwords is if you had logged into your email account using Safari. If you only use the built in mail app, you will not see the passwords in the accounts and password settings.


Passwords are saved from Safari websites.
