Security

Passcode and password management overview

iOS, iPadOS, and macOS offer a number of features to make it easy for users to securely and conveniently authenticate to third-party apps and websites that use passwords for authentication. The best way to manage passwords is not to have to use one. Sign in with Apple lets users sign in to third party apps and websites without having to create and manage an additional account or password while protecting the sign in with their two factor authentication for Apple ID. For sites that don’t support Sign in with Apple, Automatic Strong Password enable a user’s devices to automatically create, sync, and enter unique strong passwords for sites and apps. Passwords are saved to a special Password AutoFill Keychain that is user controlled and manageable, in iOS and iPadOS, by going to Settings > Passwords & Accounts > Website & App Passwords.

In macOS, saved passwords can be managed in Safari Passwords preferences. This sync system can also be used to sync passwords that are manually created by the user.
