It can be a hassle to retain the login details of our frequently visited websites. But to take away this burden, many of us allow browsers to save our usernames and passwords of various websites, which is one of the most convenient ways to get pass through the login screen. These login credentials are stored locally within the browsers' settings. But at times, we may need to access and log in to those websites on different devices or to permanently shift to a newly bought device such as a laptop or a phone. For that, one definitely needs their login details handy. In that case, we'll have to scrounge through the browser's settings to view all the saved passwords of the concerned websites. But how to exactly do that? Read on to know more.
