HOW TO VIEW A SAVED GMAIL PASSWORD USING GOOGLE CHROME
OPEN THE WEB BROWSER THAT YOUR TARGET USES ON THEIR COMPUTER.
You must have access to that person's
computer. Try this when they're out of the room or you know that you have a few
minutes alone.
Open a link from an email or a Help
menu to launch the default browser.
OPEN THE PASSWORD MANAGER.
The process for
accessing the password manager is different depending on the browser you are
using.
·
INTERNET EXPLORER - Click the Gear button or the
Tools menu and select "Internet Options." Click the
"Content" tab and then click the "Settings" button in the
AutoComplete section. Select "Manage Passwords" from the new window.
·
CHROME - Click the Chrome Menu button (☰) and select "Settings."
Click the "Show advanced settings" link and then scroll to the
"Passwords and forms" section. Click "Manage passwords."
· FIREFOX - Click the Firefox Menu button (☰) and select "Options."
Click the "Security" tab and then click "Saved Passwords."
·
SAFARI - Click the Safari menu and select
"Preferences." Click the "Passwords" tab.
FIND THE PASSWORD FOR YOUR TARGET'S GOOGLE ACCOUNT
Use the search bar in the password
manager to search for "Google". This is the quickest way to narrow
down the list of passwords. Look for the "accounts.google.com" entry
for the target's G-mail address.
DISPLAY THE PASSWORD
Select the password and then click the "Show" or
"Show Password" button. You may have to enter the administrator
password for the computer before the passwords are displayed.
WRITE DOWN THE PASSWORD AND THEN CLOSE THE PASSWORD MANAGER.
Make note of the password as well as the exact Gmail address. Close the password manager when you are done to cover your tracks.
TRY THE PASSWORD FROM ANOTHER COMPUTER
If the target has not enabled two-factor
authentication, then you should be able to access the account. The target will
likely be notified that a login has occurred from an unknown browser.
·
If the target has two-factor authentication
activated, then you will need the code that is sent to their mobile device.
There is no way around this if it is activated.
