Manage shared password and passkeys
In iOS 17, iPadOS 17, and macOS 14, or later, you can create or join a group of trusted contacts to share passwords and passkeys across devices. There are two distinct user roles in Shared Password groups: Group Owner and Group Member. Each user role determines the kind of tasks you can perform.
Group Owner: The Group Owner is the group member who created the group. The owner is the only person who can add or remove other members.
Group Member: Each person who has received and accepted an invitation from the owner is a group member. All group members can add, view, edit, or delete passwords at any time. Group members can leave a group at anytime they choose.
Note: If you delete a password or passkey that you shared with a group, you have 30 days to recover it. If you delete a password or passkey that someone else shared with the group, they receive a notification to recover it within 30 days. See Recover a recently deleted password or passkey on Mac in the Mac User Guide.
