<title>View stored passwords</title>
<p>If you ever forget a password
<link xref="passwords-stored-create">stored</link> in
<app>Passwords and Keys</app>, you can view the contents of the stored
password in <app>Passwords and Keys</app> to refresh your memory.</p>
<steps>
<title>To view a password:</title>
<item>
<p>In the side bar on the left, select the keyring which contains the
password.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p><link xref="keyring-unlock">Unlock</link> the password
keyring that contains your password. A list of passwords stored in the
keyring will be displayed.</p>
<note style="tip"><p>Your <gui>Login</gui> keyring is already unlocked by default.</p></note>
</item>
<item>
<p>Right click on the password you want to check, and select
<gui>Properties</gui>.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Select the <media type="image" mime="image/svg+xml" height="16px" width="16px"
its:translate="no" src="media/dialog-password-symbolic.svg">password</media>
icon to view the password.</p>
</item>
</steps>
<note style="important">
<p>Since the contents of any unlocked keyrings are available to programs
you may be running, and <app>Passwords and Keys</app> does not seek to give
a false sense of security, the contents of unlocked keyrings are able to be
viewed without entering the password.</p>
<p>This means that if you are logged-in, the contents of the
<gui>Login</gui> keyring will available without entering a password from
<app>Passwords and Keys</app>.</p>
<p>If you need to lend your computer to another person, it is recommended
that you create a user account for them, or allow them to use a guest
account.</p>
