Assuming you use gmail, open the key chain and type imap.gmail in the search to find it. – Ruskes Dec 17 '14 at 22:24

With regard to your edit, the procedure is the same for Apple IDs as the procedure detailed for the linked question. If you have any problems with this, feel free to edit your question to be specific to this problem you are facing in following the guidance in the aforementioned question. – grg Dec 21 '14 at 17:39

Open up Keychain Access, located in /Applications/Utilities/. A list of all your stored credentials are listed in categories on the left. I typically search for a credential by either the application it is associated with, or by the username.
Double click on the credential you desire to obtain the password for. A window pops up and there is a check box towards the bottom to Show the Password. Check the box, you'll be required to type in admin credentials, and it'll show you the password it has saved.
