Where to see the password from the Google account on the phone Xiaomi Redmi: all the ways

Forgot the password from the Google account on the Xiaomi Redmi smartphone and don't know where to find it? This is a familiar situation: you log in automatically for years, and when you need to enter a password manually, you can't remember it. Unlike the iPhone, where passwords are stored in a bunch of iCloud keys, on Android (and MIUI in particular), the system of managing credentials works differently.

In this article, we’ll look at all the ways you can look at or recover your Google password on Redmi Note 10/11/12, Redmi 9/10/11, and other models, from standard MIUI tools to hidden Android features. It’s important to understand that Xiaomi doesn’t store your passwords in plain view on the system — they can only be restored through official Google services or backups. But there are workarounds that few people know about.

Before proceeding to the instructions, check:

• 🔹 If the phone is connected to the Internet (Wi-Fi or mobile network), without it, most methods will not work.
• 🔹 Have you ever logged into this account on this device before, and if you haven't, you'll have to reset your password.
• 🔹 Is there an email or phone number linked to your account, which will make it easier to recover.

If you try to get a password from someone else’s account, it violates Google’s terms of use and can result in a device lock, and all of the methods in this article are only intended to restore access to your account.

1. View saved passwords in MIUI (if synchronization is enabled)

Xiaomi Redmi smartphones based on MIUI 12/13/14 can save passwords from applications and sites in a special storage - MIUI Password Manager. However, there is a caveat: the password from the Google account does not get there, since it is managed directly through Google services. But if you previously entered the password from Gmail in the browser or applications, you can try to find it here.

Instructions for verification:

1. Open Settings → Passwords and Security → Password Manager.
2. Enter. PIN-Screen lock code or pattern lock (if requested).
3. Scroll through the list of saved credentials. Look for records with the domain @gmail.com or accounts.google.com.

⚠️ Note: If you don’t find a Google password here, it doesn’t mean it’s not in the system. MIUI Does not save system passwords (like a Google account or Mi Account) in plaintext.

💡

If the password manager is empty, check the sync settings: Settings → Google Accounts → Sync → Passwords. The feature may have been disabled.

2. Recover password through the official Google service

The most reliable and legal way to do this is to use Google's recovery system, which works even if you've never saved a password on your phone.

1. Open a browser (like Google Chrome) and go to accounts.google.com.
2. Click Login and select your account (if it appears in the list).
3. On the login page, click Forgot your password.
4. Google will offer several options for recovery: 📧 Send the code to email (if you have access to backup mail). 📱 Get it. SMS number-bound. 🔐 Use the backup code (if you have previously saved it).

If you do not have access to your email or phone number, Google will ask for more information:

• 📅 Date of account creation.
• 🖼️ Latest devices in use.
• 🔍 Answers to control questions (if they were set up).

⚠️ Note: If you have created an account for a long time and you do not remember the attached account email/phone, recovery may take up to 3–5 Google is manually checking these requests for security purposes.

3. Viewing the password through the MIUI backup (if any)

If you have previously backed up your account through Settings → About Phone → Backup, there is a chance to extract your account data from it, but this method only works if:

• 🔄 A backup copy was created before the password was lost.
• 💾 It is saved to an external drive (memory card, PC) or in Mi Cloud.
• 🔐 You remember the password from Mi Account (if the copy is encrypted).

How to recover data:

1. Connect an external drive or log in to Mi Cloud.
2. Find a backup file (usually with the.mbk extension).
3. Restore data through Settings → Additional → Restore and Reset → Local backup.

⚠️ Warning: Restore the backup completely overwrites the current data on the phone. Before the procedure, copy important files to another medium.

4.Use of ADB for data extraction (for power users)

If you're familiar with USB debugging (ADB), you can try extracting your account data from the command line.

• 🖥️ Computers with installed ADB Tools.
• 🔌 Included debugging by USB on the phone (Settings) → The phone. → Version. MIUI — Tap 7 times, then Settings → Additionally. → For developers → Debugging by USB).
• 🔓 Unlocked bootloader (on some Redmi models it is mandatory).

Instructions:

adb shell


su




cd /data/data/com.google.android.gms/shared_prefs/




cat gservices.xml | grep "account"

This command will display a list of accounts, but not the password itself. Retrieving the password will require additional manipulation of accounts.db files, which requires root rights.

Install ADB Tools on PC| Enable debugging over USB on your phone | Connect your phone over cable | Allow access to the device in the dialog-->

⚠️ Attention: Use ADB For password extraction, Google may view the account as a hacking attempt, and it may be temporarily blocked, and we recommend this method only if other methods have failed.

5. Password reset via Mi Account (if linked to Xiaomi)

If your Google account is linked to Mi Account (Xiaomi account), you can try to restore access through Xiaomi services.

1. Go to account.xiaomi.com.
2. Sign in to your Mi Account (if you forgot your password, restore it through the email/SMS).
3. In the Device Management section, find your Redmi.
4. Click Delete Google Account (if available) and add it again.

This method will only work if:

• 🔗 Google and Mi accounts have been synced before.
• 📱 The phone is not locked after reset (some Redmi models require you to enter the old password even after deleting the account).

💡

Resetting your Google account via Mi Account is the fastest way, but only works if your phone is not locked after unsuccessful password attempts.

6. Alternative methods: what to do if nothing has worked

If all of the above methods do not work, radical measures remain:

⚠️ Attention: Bypass FRP-Factory Reset Protection on modern Redmi (e.g. Redmi Note 12 Pro)+) It's almost impossible without official tools. Google has tightened security measures, and most of the loopholes are closed.
