Cannot find Mail Account passwords

Hello I cannot find passwords for my email accounts in IOS 16 on my iPad or iPhone.

Those accounts are not including in Settings>Passwords.

Under the specific Settings>Mail accounts, for both my gmail and yahoo accounts, I can only find password fields under the server details which has optional fields for login and password but these fields are blank. I can send/receive emails from these accounts but I no longer remember my password. How can I find thse passwords?

Hi JeebyT, We appreciate you reaching out to us. We understand that you are looking for the passwords for your mail accounts.

We’d like to start by setting your expectations.

Settings > Mail > Accounts is not designed to show the passwords to saved mail accounts.

If you don't see the passwords to your mail accounts under Settings > Passwords, it is likely that you didn't save your account credentials to your iCloud Keychain. If you need help with your iCloud Mail, the password to it is your Apple ID password.

If you forgot your Apple ID password, the article below may help.

If you need help with a third-party mail account, please contact the support team of your email provider for assistance.

Take care!
