Introduction
Many users have a Microsoft account for various services like Outlook, OneDrive, Xbox Live, and Microsoft Teams. When signing in to these services through a web browser, the browser often offers to save the user's credentials for a more convenient login experience. This article will guide you on how to view the saved passwords stored in your Microsoft account via a browser, without using any specific tools.
Accessing the Microsoft Account Settings
First, you need to access your Microsoft account settings. To do this, open your web browser and go to the following URL:
https://account.microsoft.com/Enter your Microsoft account credentials if required and then click on the "Sign in" button.
Accessing Saved Passwords
Now, to access the saved passwords, follow these steps:
- After logging in to your Microsoft account, locate and click on your profile picture or the account initials at the top-right corner of the webpage.
- From the drop-down menu, click on "Security" (usually denoted by a padlock icon).
- In the "Security" section, locate and click on "Additional security options".
Unfortunately, Microsoft does not provide an option to view the saved passwords directly in the browser like Google Password Manager. You can manage saved credentials by:
- Removing: You can remove saved credentials if you find them suspicious or no longer needed.
- Changing: If you want to update the password of a service, you can change it from here. However, you will have to enter the new password manually.
