How to check my iOS-backup password When backing up iOS devices to the mac, encrypted backups are possible. Is there a way to test my password, which I think is correct, without trying to restore some iPad from this backup?
I want to make sure that I not only have my iPad backed-up, but also make sure that I remember the password correctly.
I would prefer not to &quot;pretend&quot; I want to change my password, just to check if my password works.
Any Ideas?
I am on macos Catalina and iPadOS 14.3.
If you saved it in keychain, it will auto-fill in the Change Password dialog.
If so, it's listed in keychain as &quot;iOS Backup&quot;, where you can open the plaintext version to see.

If not, then I think you'll have to try changing it to see if you remembered it correctly. I don't know if it will allow changing to the same password - never tested that.
