Extracting a password from the Mail app

Hello, I use the mail app for a personal email address (which I primarily check on my iphone) and another email address for work which I check on my laptop. Recently, I tried logging into my personal email address on my laptop, but realized I forgot my password. I went through gmail account recovery, but it tells me that "account information does not match." Since the recovery method is being a pain, I was wondering if there's a way I can extract the saved password in my mail app and find out what my password for my personal email is that way. Thank you.

MacBook Pro (15-inch Mid 2010), OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)
