How to check the password in Faceid

You can’t directly “check” the password connected with Face ID itself.

Here’s why:

Face ID is for Device Unlock: Face ID primarily acts as a biometric authentication method to unlock your iPhone or iPad. It doesn’t directly store or manage passwords for individual apps or websites.
Password Management: Apple’s system for managing passwords is called iCloud Keychain. This separate feature allows you to securely store and access passwords for various accounts within the Passwords app (or Passwords & Accounts in older iOS versions).

How to Access Saved Passwords (if stored in iCloud Keychain):

Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
Tap “Passwords” (iOS 14 or later) or “Passwords & Accounts” (iOS 13 or earlier).
Authenticate: You’ll be prompted to use Face ID, Touch ID, or enter your device passcode.
View Passwords: You can then view saved passwords for different websites and apps.

Enable iCloud Keychain: Store and sync passwords across devices for easier retrieval.
Secure Third-Party Apps: Use apps like LastPass or 1Password, which also support Face ID for added security.
Avoid Sharing Devices: Since Face ID works with your face, ensure only your biometrics are registered.

Security: For strong security, it’s crucial to have a robust device passcode set up. This passcode is essential to access your saved passwords and protect your device.
Password Managers: Consider using a dedicated password manager app (like 1Password or LastPass) for improved security and organization of your passwords.

This clarifies how Face ID relates to password management on Apple devices!
