My SharePoint Farm has multiple application pools including SharePoint Services running.

And each Application Pool is running on different service account.

To check which application pool is running using which service account.

Go to Run >> Type inetmgr. This will open Internet Information Services Manager.

Click on Application Pool and you can see Identity of Application pool which is Service account.

When we create Application Pool or Application Service and choose new service application pool account, this account

get registered to Manage Accounts under Security.

Path will be Central Administration >  Security > Manage Accounts

We can see here are all service accounts are registered.

If you want to Check password of service account you can check using PowerShell command.

Open Windows PowerShell Module from All Application Program.
