Question

recover email password from iphone

How can I retrieve an email password for my gmail account on the iphone? I have never sync-ed with my computer nor have I used gmail from a web browser. I have contacted gmail and gone through their "reset" process but they will not verify my account. The email functions on my iphone, but now I want to set in up in Apple Mail, but I do not have the password. Is there some way to retrieve it from an iTunes backup? Thanks.

macbook pro, Mac OS X (10.6.6), iphone OS 4.2

Gmail will send your password to your alternate email address set up with Gmail.

If your alternate email address also comes into your iPhone you can retrieve it there or on your computer.

Gmail will NOT send me my password. After filling out their form multiple times with the details of my account, they are still not sending my password or password reset. This is the problem.

If you cannot prove to Google who you are they are right in not sending you your password. There is no way to retrieve your password from the iPhone or from any other properly designed email client.
