1. Launch the Keychain Access app (Applications > Utilities > Keychain Access).

2. To access your passwords, double-click the relevant item, select Show passwords, and confirm the passcode of your macOS device.

Launching a Keychain password manager for the first time can be confusing. So, here is a quick guide on how to use Keychain:

• There are two folders at the top-left menu: Systems keychains and Default keychains, where your web passwords, app passcodes, and certificates are stored.
