Keep your device, app and website passwords secure on iPhone and iPad
On your iPhone or iPad, you can manage your passwords in Settings, in Spotlight Search or using Siri. You can also use the Password Security Recommendations feature to identify any weak or vulnerable passwords. Saved passwords appear in alphabetical order organised by the website or platform they’re saved on.

Manage passwords
You can manage your passwords in Settings, in Spotlight Search or using Siri.
Go to Settings > Passwords, then do any of the following:
To add a new password manually, tap Add in the top-right corner.
To edit or delete a password, tap Edit in the top-right corner, tap “Select saved passwords”, then tap Edit or Delete.
Important: After you’ve deleted a password, you can no longer recover it.
If you added a new password, test it to make sure you entered it correctly.
Use Password Security Recommendations
If you create and store your own passwords for websites and apps, you can use the Password Security Recommendations feature to identify any weak or vulnerable passwords (for example, if they’re easily guessed or used multiple times). You can also use the feature to securely monitor your passwords and to alert you if any have been compromised through a known data leak.
Go to Settings > Passwords > Security Recommendations.
Turn on the Detect Compromised Passwords to let iPhone securely monitor your passwords and to alert you if any passwords have appeared in known data leaks.
Review these recommendations for the passwords you’ve created:
Passwords marked as reused have been used across different domains. Using the same password for more than one service may leave the account vulnerable to an attacker who has discovered your credentials.
Passwords marked as weak may be easily guessed by an attacker.
Passwords are marked as leaked if the Password Monitoring feature has identified them in a known data leak.
To make an update to a reused, weak or leaked password, tap the item and follow the on-screen instructions.
Turn on detection of compromised passwords
iPhone and iPad (using iOS 17, iPadOS 17 or later) can monitor your passwords and alert you if they appear in known data leaks.
Go to Settings > Passwords > Security Recommendations, then turn on Detect Compromised Passwords.
Automatically delete single-use verification codes
In iOS 17, iPadOS 17 and macOS Sonoma 14, or later, single-use verification codes are filled in automatically, so you don’t need to leave the app or website you’re signing in to. You can choose to automatically delete the verification codes after entering them with Autofill, or keep them.
Do one of the following:
On your iPhone or iPad: Go to Settings > Password, select Password Options, then turn on Clean Up Automatically.
On your Mac: Choose Apple menu > System Settings > Password in the sidebar, select Password Options, then turn on Clean Up Automatically.
