Save your passwords safely on an iPhone or iPad
Use Apple's built-in Passwords app so you never have to remember or write down passwords again.
A password manager remembers your passwords for you and fills them in. On an iPhone or iPad, Apple's Passwords app is built in and free.
Before you start
- You need your Apple Account password (the one you use for the App Store).
- Make sure your iPhone is up to date: Settings → General → Software Update.
Steps
- Open the Passwords app (a white key on a blue background). If you can't find it, swipe down on the home screen and type "Passwords".
- Unlock it with Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode.
- Tap All to see passwords your iPhone has already saved.
- To add one, tap +, type the website (for example, the name of your email provider), your username and your password, then tap Save.
- Next time you log in to that website or app, your iPhone will offer to fill it in. Tap the suggestion.
Good habits
- Let your iPhone suggest a strong password when you create a new account.
- If the app shows a Security warning for a password, change that password.
Never share a code from the Passwords app with anyone who calls or messages you.
