Find recently changed Apple ID password.

Hello,

I changed my Apple ID password about a month ago and now I need to enter it on a new device. Apparently the new password has not been propagated to the "Passwords" section of "Settings" or the Keychain which still report the old password (for appleid.apple.com, icloud.com - I'm not sure is there is another entry I should be looking for).

Obviously the password is not "lost" because every app and service works on every device (I'm logged in here, aren't I?), I just don't have visual access to it.

How can I find it? - I do not want to reset it.

Thanks

Are you talking about the password to your Apple Account? You are expected to know that and remember it. If you use a browser to sign in, and you use a password manager, it is possible you can view it there. In general if you cannot remember your Apple Account password you have to reset it.

The other device has to have been able to connect to the Internet to get the news about the new password. It can also help to restart a device so it takes a fresh look, or even sign out and back into your account. I had to do the last recently before my device completely acknowledged my Apple ID change.

I don't think "You are expected to know that and remember it". The old Apple ID password is still in Settings/Passwords/appleid.com, it was just never updated to the new one even though I made the change in October.

Every device has been on the internet 24/7 and most of them have been restarted a few times.
