If xxxx@icloud.com is an apple id created and signed in your Mac , initially if iCloud Keychain is set up https://support.apple.com/en-in/HT204085

https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/mac-help/mh43699/mac

The password can be found see this https://support.apple.com/en-in/guide/keychain-access/kyca1085/mac

If you have set up Apple ID in an iPhone the password can only be reset https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201487 and not found as data base of an iPhone is very less as compared to Mac , you can only turn on iCloud Keychain in an iPhone https://support.apple.com/en-in/guide/iphone/iph82d6721b2/ios


Note : please clarify in Mac system preferences the Apple ID right now is signed as xxxxx@icloud.com or other Apple ID say example1@gmail.com , the account is set up with secondary authentication in which three answers for security questions , date of birth , rescue mail address and password is added or set up with two factor authentication https://support.apple.com/en-in/HT204915
