Hi...


Go to your Safari menu bar, click Safari > Preferences then select the Autofill tab.


Click the Edit buttton to the right of User names and passwords to see stored User names.


Your passwords are stored in Keychain Access located in /Applications/Utlities


In the Keychain Access window select Passwords on the left.


Type in the name of a website you want to see your password for in the search field top righrt corner of that window then double click that Keychain then select the Attributes tab then click: Show password You may be prompted for your admin password.
