Share passwords or passkeys with people you trust on Apple Vision Pro
Shared password groups are an easy and secure way to share passwords and passkeys with your family and trusted contacts.
Anyone in the group can add passwords and passkeys. When a shared password changes, it changes on everyone’s device.
Send a passkey or password with AirDrop
To share with someone with AirDrop, ask them to open Control Center and allow AirDrop to receive items.
Compared to sharing other types of information, AirDrop has more stringent requirements for sharing passkeys and passwords.
iCloud Keychain must be set up on your Apple Vision Pro.
The person youʼre sharing with must be in your contacts list in Settings
You must be in the other person’s contacts list, and you must be listed with the email address you use for iCloud.
Go to the Passwords app
on your Apple Vision Pro.Pinch and hold the account whose password you want to share, tap Share with AirDrop, then select the device or person you want to send the passkey or password to.
When they receive the request, ask them to tap or click Accept.
The passkey or password is saved to their device, where they can view its information and let their device automatically fill it in on the sign-in screen for the account. The passkey or password is also saved to their iCloud Keychain, so they can use it on other devices where they’re signed in to their Apple Account.
Create a shared password group
Note: To create a shared password group, you must be signed in to your Apple Account.

Note: To add someone to your group, they must be in your contacts list in Settings, and they must have a device using iOS 17, iPadOS 17, macOS 14, visionOS 1, or later. If they can be added to the group, their contact information appears in blue. If it appears in gray, their device might not support shared password groups.

Select the passwords you want to share with the group, then tap Move in the top-right corner.
You can also share Sign in with Apple access.
If you don’t want to share any passwords yet, tap Not Now in the top-left corner.
You’re given the choice to notify the people you have added to the group that they have been invited.
Your shared passwords are saved in iCloud Keychain, and you can use them like any other saved password.
You’ll receive a notification whenever anyone else is invited to the group.
