On macOS keywords are stored in the keychain. Hence you can open up the Keychain app, go to the Password section and enter mysql in the search box. A list of entries should come up with values of your MySQL connections you created in MySQL Workbench. Get the password from the entry you need (you have to enter your login password to see it).
