How to find out the password from Google account on Xiaomi

Xiaomi smartphone owners often face a situation where they need to remember login details to Google account, but they are completely out of memory. This can happen after buying a new device, resetting settings or changing passwords for a long time. Fortunately, the Android ecosystem provides several reliable ways to restore or view stored credentials.

First of all, it's important to understand that it's impossible to just "see" the current password in your phone's settings for cybersecurity reasons: the system encrypts data so that even when physically accessing the device, an attacker can't steal your personal information. However, there are workarounds through synchronization and built-in password managers.

In this article, we will take a look at all the legal methods to restore access to your profile on Mi and Redmi devices.We will look at working with Google Password Manager, checking stored data in the Chrome browser and the procedure for a complete reset through the recovery form.

Checking saved passwords in Android settings

The easiest way to find out the login data is to check if the smartphone itself has saved it before. Android automatically offers to save passwords when you log in to services. If you have ever agreed to this offer, then the key information is stored in a secure storage.

To access this data, you'll need to go to the settings menu. The navigation may vary slightly depending on the version of the MIUI shell or HyperOS, but the logic remains the same. You need to find the section responsible for Google and account management.

Follow the following steps:

• 📱 Open the settings of your Xiaomi smartphone.
• 🔍 Find and click on Google (usually at the bottom of the list).
• 🔑 Select the Autocomplete option and then Autocomplete from Google.
• 📂 Go to the Passwords or Google Password Manager section.

⚠️ Note: To view saved passwords, the system will necessarily require proof of identity, this can be unlocked by fingerprint, face scanner or entering the pin code of the lock screen.

In the list that opens, look for the domain google.com or accounts.google.com. When you click on it, you'll see a hidden password. To make it readable, click on the icon of your eye. If the item is empty, the save function has been disabled, and you'll have to use other methods.

💡

If you don't have the right account on the list, check to see if you've switched to another email at the top of the password manager screen. Sometimes the data is stored under a backup address.

Using Chrome browser to recover data

Often users are unaware that Google Chrome on Xiaomi has its own independent data storage. Even if the information is not displayed in the system settings, it can be synchronized within the browser, this is especially true if you have previously logged into your profile through a web interface.

The verification process here is similar to the system, but it has its own nuances: the browser interface allows you not only to see the password, but also to copy it or export it to the file, which is convenient if you need to enter data on another device where you do not have access to the account.

The algorithm for Chrome:

• 🌐 Launch the Chrome app on your smartphone.
• ⋮ Click on the three dots in the upper right corner and select Settings.
• 🔐 Go to the Password section.
• 🔍 In the search bar, type Google.

If you find a record, click on it. Once you have biometrics, you will see your login and password. Please note that multiple records may be stored here if you used different email addresses to log in to Google services.

Resetting procedure through Google Restore Form

If no one browsing method has worked, the only option is to reset the password, which is a routine procedure that developers have in place for data loss cases, which doesn't require knowledge of the old password, but necessitates access to the linked phone number or backup email.

You don't have to do it on a Xiaomi phone. You can use any computer or other person's smartphone. You have a stable Internet connection. It takes a few minutes, but it requires careful input of the confirmation codes.

Procedure:

1. Go to accounts.google.com/signin/recovery.
2. Enter your email address.
3. Press Forgot Your Password?
4. Follow the instructions: choose the method of receiving the code (SMS or call).

⚠️ Note: If you have changed SIM-The card and phone number are no longer active and backup email is also unavailable, account recovery may become impossible.Google is very strict about security.

Once you have successfully entered your code from the SMS, the system will suggest you come up with a new password. Come up with a complex combination that is easy for you to remember, but difficult for others to pick up. Immediately after the data change, the Xiaomi phone may require you to log in again.

Comparison of Access Restoration Methods

The choice of recovery method depends on your specific situation: whether you have access to the phone, remember a backup email or if the number is tied. Below is a table that will help determine the best method.

As you can see from the table, having access to the Xiaomi device itself makes it much easier: If the phone is locked or reset, relying on external factors (phone, mail) becomes critical.

💡

The fastest way is through Google settings on an already unlocked device where you log in to your account.

Two-factor authentication and access codes

Google’s current security standards often require not only a password, but also two-factor authentication (2FA) confirmation, which can be manifested on Xiaomi smartphones by asking for confirmation on another device or entering code from an authenticator app.

If you try to log in, the system asks for code that you can't get, check for backup codes. They're generated once and must be stored in a secure place. Without them, the login can be blocked, even if the password is correct.

Where to look for backup codes:

• 🛡️ Go to Google Settings on any device that has logged in.
• 🔢 Select the Security tab.
• 📜 Find the item Reserve codes.
• 📸 Take a screenshot or write down codes.

⚠️ Warning: Every backup code is disposable. Once used, it becomes invalid. Do not use it for regular login, only in emergency situations.

Passkeys is a new technology that is gradually replacing passwords. On Xiaomi with Android 13/14 support, you can sign in simply by unlocking the screen, eliminating the need to remember complex characters.

What to do if nothing helps

In the rare cases where access to all recovery tools (number, mail, backup codes) is lost, the account is considered lost. Google Support does not restore access without proof of identity through the above channels, this is done to protect users from hackers.

However, if you have logged in to your account on a Xiaomi phone but don’t remember your password, don’t be in a hurry to log out. While you’re inside, you can change your password through your security settings, using the current session as confirmation.

Action plan in critical situation:

1. Do not log out of your account on your current device.


2. Go to myaccount.google.com.




3. Select "Security" -> "Password".




4.The system may suggest changing the password without entering the old one, if the device is trusted.

If you plan to sell or give your phone away, make sure to log out of all accounts completely, otherwise the new owner will face FRP (Factory Reset Protection) lock and the device will become a useless piece of plastic.
