I need to be able to see what password my ipad is using to sign on to my email provider. Is there a way to do that?

To see any password stored in your iPad Keychain:

Settings > Passwords > [tap the required password entry] > Password


Tap the obscured ( ********) entry to reveal the saved password.

Well. The crazy thing (to me) is that I saved the password to my keychain to sign in to the email provider, which is also the cable provider. The keychain allows me to sign through the cable provider when I want to stream, and the keychain remembers the password. But, it does not show up in passwords in my settings. All the other passwords do, but that one doesn't.


I can still sign in to my email on the ipad, but I cannot put the email account on my phone because I cannot figure out the password. If I could see the password through my ipad email, that would help.


I did try to use the 'forgot password' function on the email provider page. But, each time I try, nothing shows up on the email.
