  5. if my email password is saved in my iCloud Keychain then a) will it now show in ‘settings/passwords’ b) how do I view it?
  6. Does my iPhone need to be synced to Mac I order to be able to view my email password
  7. any other possible question relating to step by step instructions to be able to find and view my email password on my iPhone so that I can use it in a browser to log in and sort out the problems of why I’ve been locked out of my mail in the mail app

If you sign into your email account using the web interface for the account (i.e. Xfinity.com, aol.com, etc.), you will have to option to save the email password, which will be stored in Setting>Passwords. If you are running iOS 15.6, you have to tap on the the dots that appear in the password setting in order to reveal the password.


If you use Keychain, it will sync across your devices.
