In safari preferences > passwords > enter your admin password in the opening window click on the mail account you can read the password .

It can be viewed in keychain access see this article View the information stored in a keychain on Mac - Apple Support , but deleting the password from keychain access ( it will be shown in iCloud is risky ) it can corrupt the keychain .

It is always wiser to change the password from web account if it is an gmail account see this article Change or reset your password - Google Account Help
