To know or recover your email password, you can try the following methods:
- Use the "Forgot password" option on your email provider's login page. This typically involves verifying your identity through a recovery phone number, alternate email, security questions, or an authentication app, then resetting your password.
- Check if your password has been saved on your device or browser:
- On Windows, use Credential Manager in Control Panel.
- On Mac, use Passwords in System Settings.
- In Google Chrome, look in Password Manager under Autofill.
- On mobile devices, check saved passwords or password manager apps.
- For Gmail specifically, go to the Google Account Recovery page, enter your email, and follow the prompts for recovery, even if you don’t have access to your phone or recovery email. Google may ask for verification from another device or send you a password reset link after waiting.
- If you have access to your email account but forgot the password stored elsewhere, you might be able to view it via password managers connected to your browsers or devices.
In general, if you cannot remember your password, the standard way is to reset it securely through your provider’s recovery process. If needed, instructions tailored by device or email service can be provided for more precise steps.
