With iOS 18, Apple introduced its first dedicated Passwords app, which corrals all of your saved logins and passwords within a simple interface and secures them behind your biometric authentication.
The Passwords app is automatically added to your device when you update to iOS 18, iPadOS 18, or macOS Sequoia, and it replaces the passwords section in the Settings app on iPhone/iPad and in System Settings on Mac. Its clean, straightforward design puts a search bar front and center, making it easy to find exactly what you need.
If you've been using iCloud Keychain, all your saved logins and passwords are seamlessly available after authenticating with Face ID or Touch ID. The app organizes your data into clear categories: passwords and logins (found under "All"), Passkeys, two-factor authentication codes, Wi-Fi passwords, security alerts, and even recently deleted logins.
Navigating the app is intuitive — select any category to explore its contents, and tap an individual entry to view details. Each login includes fields for the app or website name, username, password, verification codes, associated websites, and notes. A handy one-tap option lets you quickly update any password directly from the app.
In addition to storing your passwords and login credentials, the Passwords app can also generate verification codes for additional sign-in security. You can also share Wi-Fi passwords using QR codes when other sharing methods aren't available, or for when you want to share the network details with several people.
