How can I see my password in Outlook 365?

Answered by Willie Powers

To see your password in Outlook 365, you can follow these steps:

1. Open Outlook and click on the “File” tab located in the top left corner of the screen.

2. In the Account Information section, click on “Account Settings” and then select “Account Settings” again from the drop-down menu.

3. A new window will open with a list of your email accounts. Choose the IMAP or POP account for which you want to view the password, and then click on the “Repair” button.

4. In the Repair Account window, you will see a checkbox that says “Let me repair my account manually.” Check this box and click the “Repair” button.

5. The Repair Account window will expand to show advanced options. Scroll down to the “Password” section, and you will see a small eye icon next to your password.

6. Click on the eye icon, and it will show you a preview of your password. This allows you to view the characters of your password temporarily.

It’s important to note that you will not be able to see the actual password in plain text. Outlook only provides a temporary preview of the password to ensure its accuracy during the repair process. This is a security measure to protect your account from unauthorized access.

If you are unable to view your password using the above method, it is recommended to reset your password through your email provider’s website or contact their support for further assistance.

Remember to always keep your passwords secure and avoid sharing them with others. Regularly updating your passwords and using strong, unique combinations can help protect your accounts from unauthorized access.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
