Can’t find my reddit password, but I still use it. Where might it be?

I have a Reddit account that is very valuable to me. I use it every day. Presumably there is a working password somewhere that allows me to get into the account.

I use an iPhone, an iPad, and a MacBook. There is a password entry on each of them for this Reddit account, and it is the same on each of the devices. But the site only opens on the iPhone, not the other two. And the account does not work anywhere when I use the known saved password on a different device or on the Reddit webpage.

I have iCloud backups on each of the devices. I haven’t found anything different there. I have not looked in Keychain because I am not sure how to open it.

Reddit says it can’t find a password for me because I do not have an email associated with that user name. There is a good reason why I didn’t attach an email to the account.

Is there any way to ask my iPhone what password it is using when it connects to the account? Any and all ideas on my issue will be much appreciated.

Hello jweist,

Welcome to Apple Support Communities!

We want to help you recover the password for your account.

You might be able to recover the password using Siri or in your Settings. See here:

"Use Siri to find saved passwords

Use Siri to view your passwords by saying something like "Hey Siri, show my passwords." If you're looking for the password to a specific app or website, you can also ask Siri. For example, say "Hey Siri, what is my Hulu password?"

View saved passwords and passkeys in Settings

Tap Settings, then select Passwords. In iOS 13 or earlier, select Passwords & Accounts, then tap Website & App Passwords.
Use Face ID or Touch ID when prompted, or enter your passcode.
To see a password or passkey, select a website or app."

This Apple Support page has the full details and more steps to take if needed: How to find saved passwords and passkeys on your iPhone - Apple Support

We hope these steps can help resolve the issue so you can recover this unknown password.

Cheers!
