Create website and app passwords on iPod touch

When you sign up for services on websites and in apps, you can let iPod touch create strong passwords for many of your accounts, or you can create your own passwords. iPod touch stores the passwords in iCloud Keychain and fills them in for you automatically, so you don’t have to memorize them. If you use the same password in more than one account, iPod touch flags it for you to change.

Note: For iPod touch to create and store passwords, iCloud Keychain must be turned on. Go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Keychain.
