Why has my password not saved & how do I find it?

So here I am, signing up to Disney+ & it asks me to create a password. I tell my Mac to suggest a strong password & it does. Great, I'm in. Now I'm going through the rest of the sign up process and, in order to access the full catalogue, I have to prove who I am.


"Enter password" it says.


Great.


But the password hasn't been added to my list of passwords so I don't know what is. Because what's the point in letting the machine create the strong password if it's easy to remember, right?


So what do I do.


More to the point, how do I get through the rest of the process without saying I forgot my password. Which I haven't obviously. I just have no way of finding out what it is.


This happens more often than I'd like to admit.


Why create a password & not immediately add it to my password list?


Sometimes, when I navigate away from a page, I get a prompt to save the password, which is always welcome but a tiny bit late because SEE ABOVE!!!


In any case, I tried navigating away & coming back & it didn't prompt me this time.


Any help would be appreciated. :)

Okay, thanks. That's interesting because I never knew that existed. I've always gone to the safari passwords pane.


In any case, it's not there. (Or if it is, I can't find it.)


So anyway, I selected the "I forgot my password" option & then it made a new one & immediately gave me the option to save it.


In exactly the same way that it didn't the first time. :)
