On a Mac OS X system, passwords can be stored in a keychain. You can view and manage stored passwords via the Keychain Access program found in the
Applications/Utilities
folder. If you use the
Apple Mail program to check email for a
Gmail account, you can view
the password stored in a keychain for the Gmail account by opening
the Keychain Access program and then typing gmail in
the search box at the upper, right-hand corner of the window and
hitting Enter. You should then see entries displayed for
imap.gmail.com and smtp.gmail.com, if you
are checking email via the
Internet
Message Application Access Protocol (IMAP) and sending email
via the
Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP).
