How to view a saved password in safari on iphone and ipad.

If you've forgotten a website password but have saved it before using Safari on your iPhone or iPad, you can easily retrieve it. Here's how.

It can be frustrating when you need to log into a site on a different device or browser but you’ve lost the password. Luckily, if you've previously stored that password using Safari on iPhone or iPad , you can easily retrieve it. Here’s how.

First, launch "Settings," which can usually be found on the first page of your Home screen or on your Dock.

Scroll down the list of Settings options until you see "Passwords & Accounts." Tap it.

In the "Passwords & Accounts" section, tap "Website & App Passwords."

After you pass authentication (using Touch ID, Face ID, or your passcode), you will see a list of saved account information organized alphabetically by website name. Scroll through or use the search bar until you find the entry with the password you need. Tap it.

On the next screen, you will see account info in detail, including the username and the password.

If possible, memorize the password quickly and try to avoid writing it down on paper. If you often have trouble managing passwords, it's better to use a password manager instead .

  • A prompt appears with an automatically generated strong password.
  • Tap Use Strong Password to select and save it or Choose My Own Password to create and save a custom one.

This tutorial shows how to save your passwords on an iPad and turn on Keychain if it's turned off. Instructions apply to iOS 15 and later.

How to Use Keychain to Save Passwords

Your iPad automatically generates passwords for web pages and in apps when it detects you've selected a password field. It also prompts you to fill in these fields with a password you previously saved in Keychain.

Follow these steps to use saved passwords on an iPad or create a new one for Keychain.

On a web page or app, tap the Password field.

A password option appears if Keychain has a password for the app. Tap it to place the password in the text field and log in as usual.

If successful, you're finished. The following steps only apply if the password doesn't appear or you need to save a new password.

If no password is saved, your iPad generates a strong password automatically.

Tap Use Strong Password to save the recommended strong password. Select Choose My Own Password to create your own instead.

Using your own password is less secure than using an automatically generated strong password. Saving passwords to your iPad means you don't need to remember each one.

If the iPad keyboard appears but no password prompt is displayed, tap the Keychain icon, which is a small, black key.

Keychain opens the Autofill Password screen with a list of saved passwords. Use the search field or scroll down to the one you need and tap it to place it in the password text field.

If you want to create another password, tap Add New Password near the top of the Autofill Password list.

Enter your username and a password . Tap Done to save the information to Keychain.

To view saved passwords, open the Settings app and select Passwords .

How to Turn On Saved Passwords on an iPad

Open the Settings app.

Scroll down the Settings menu and tap Passwords .

Tap the toggle next to AutoFill Passwords to turn on the feature.

Can I Use a Third-Party Password Manager?

Apple Keychain is not the only way to save passwords on an iPad.

The iPadOS 15 updates added support for third-party password managers such as 1Password, LastPass, and mSecure. You can download these third-party password managers from the App Store.

After they are installed, your iPad will include the third-party password manager passwords in prompts.

An iPad can generate, save, and fill in strong passwords. This feature is available with Keychain or a third-party password manager.

If you use a third-party password manager app, you can pull up any credentials you've saved from the app itself. For Keychain passwords, go to Settings > Passwords . A list of the accounts you've saved to the Keychain will appear on the next screen; tap one to see its password.

Ojash Yadav

Security experts are always reminding us that our online accounts should have strong passwords. The only problem is that remembering strong passwords for various accounts can be a real drag. Luckily, you can make Safari save your passwords on iOS so that the next time you need to sign in to your accounts, you won’t have to enter them again. In this tutorial, we show you how to do so.

You might be wondering whether it is safe to save passwords on an iOS device. Yes, it is, as Apple uses its own utility known as Apple Keychain, which stores all your usernames and passwords and encrypts them so that only you can access them. In fact, even Apple can’t access your personal data. Here’s how to make Safari save your passwords on iPhone and iPad.

  • Go to the site whose credentials you want Safari to save.
  • Sign in as you usually would.

  • In the next window, you’ll be asked if you want to save the login information in iCloud Keychain for the next time. If you tap on “Save Password,” your credentials will be saved.

How To Make Mobile Safari Save Your Passwords On Ios Tap Save Password

The next time you visit the site, Safari will automatically fill in the information for you to sign in.

If you have multiple logins for that same website, you will see multiple options listed. Tap the one you want to use. If there’s a third, fourth, etc., that isn’t shown, click the “Passwords” link (just above your virtual keyboard). You’ll be able to find the correct one in your list of saved logins.

Moreover, if you ever change your password on the site, you will be asked whether you want to update your password.

As a result, if you sign in to the Dropbox web app and save your login information in Safari or another browser, then open the Dropbox app later, it will use the same login information that you previously stored.

Why are my passwords not saving on my iPhone?

If your passwords are not saving on your iPhone, you need to recheck your settings to see if you have disabled the Keychain feature in iOS Settings accidentally. In the event that it’s enabled and Safari is still not saving your passwords, try clearing the saved cache data and cookies and revisit the website.

How does Apple know if my password is compromised?

Apple detects a compromised password by matching it up with a list of passwords that have appeared in a data leak. According to Apple, this feature uses strong cryptographic techniques to regularly check derivations of your passwords against a list of breached passwords in a secure and private way that doesn’t reveal your accounts or passwords to Apple.

Can I export the passwords Safari has saved?

Yes, you can export all the passwords Safari stores in Keychain and also import them to Chrome’s password manager . However, you can only do this on a Mac and not from your iPhone. To export a CSV file of your Safari passwords:

  • Open Safari and navigate to “Preferences-> Passwords.”
  • Enter your password when prompted.
  • Click on the three dots on the left sidebar, then on “Export All Passwords,” and save the CSV file to your computer.

Safari Password Manager: How to save, view and manage passwords in Apple's browser

Thanks to iCloud Keychain, you can save browser username and password combinations.

Apple Safari logo

  • Quick steps

Tools and Requirements

Step by step guide to using the safari password manager, final thoughts.

You probably already know about iCloud if you're using at least one Apple device. The cloud storage and synchronization service allows it to store and access content across multiple devices, including Mac, iPhone, iPad, and more.  These include files and information like documents, photos, music, video, and contacts.

Apple's iCloud service is also at the heart of the iCloud Keychain , where you can store website usernames/passwords, among other items. In this how-to, we're concentrating on how to add, edit, and delete Safari password content. Similar tools are available on other browsers like Microsoft Edge and Mozilla Firefox . 

  • You should also consider the best browsers and best secure browsers .  

Steps for saving, viewing and managing passwords

  • Before you can save any username/password combinations, you must first be sure to have an Apple ID or iCloud account.
  • From there, you can begin adding usernames and passwords for websites you frequent. 
  • You can also take advantage of Apple's new passkey feature. 
  • Safari is only available on Apple devices such as Mac, iPhone, and iPad. 

1. Go into the manager

Safari passwords

To get started, you must first create an Apple ID . The username/password combinate is usable across all Apple devices to log into iCloud.com. You can proceed once you have an Apple ID and are logged into your device. 

On Mac, the Safari password manager is located by choosing Safari on the menu bar at the top left of your Mac. From there, click Settings from the pull-down menu. 

Next, click on the Passwords option at the top. Input your password as needed. 

2. Adjust existing password settings

Safari change password

You can adjust password information in the iCloud Keychain directly from Safari. To get started, go into the Passwords section of Mac Settings (see above) and log in as necessary. Then, use the search box on the left side of the display to find the password information you wish to change. Click Edit . 

You can change the username and password for a website and add notes when applicable. After making a change, click Save . 

Click Delete Password to delete the password information. 

Thanks to iCloud, any changes you make here will also be reflected in other Apple devices that use your Apple ID. 

4. Using Autofill in Safari

Safari password

With AutoFill, you can fill in your previously saved usernames and website passwords. The tool is also a great way to add a new username/password combination for the first time and to create a strong password. 

You will see AutoFill pop up when a website asks you to create a password.

You will see an Autofill prompt In Safari when it's time to use or create a password. 

Click the AutoFill Key button, then choose Suggest New Password . For optimal security, you should use the suggested strong password. However, if you choose not to use the suggested password, you can easily select the password field, click “ Don’t Use ,” and enter your preferred password.

From there, enter the rest of the required information to create the website account.

Why use a separate password manager instead of a browser?

While most web browsers have their own password management feature, except for Safari which incorporates it into iCloud Keychain, in-browser password managers have limitations. They can only be used with one specific browser and cannot be accessed from other browsers. On the other hand, standalone password managers are compatible with any browser on your device, making them a more versatile option. Moreover, it is important to consider security when choosing a password manager. Browsers are not updated as frequently as standalone password managers, which can pose a security risk in case of a breach.

Does Safari have a built-in VPN?

Like many other browsers, Safari does not come with a pre-installed VPN. However, several reliable third-party VPNs like ExpressVPN, NordVPN, and SurfShark can easily be integrated with Safari. With a VPN, you can significantly boost the security and privacy of your online activities.

Are browser password managers safe?

To guarantee the safety of your passwords, using browser password managers like Safari with encryption is a great first step. However, there are additional measures you can take to further enhance your protection. It is highly recommended to create a strong and secure master password. The newest optional feature in Microsoft Edge mandates that you input your master password before making any changes to the password manager, thereby adding an extra layer of security. Regularly backing up your password manager is also a wise precaution in case of loss or theft. Another crucial step is creating a Firefox profile, allowing content synchronization across devices. This ensures that any changes made on your computer are reflected on your mobile device and vice versa.

What is iCloud Keychain?

iCloud Keychain is a highly reliable password manager that securely stores sensitive information such as passwords and credit card details in an online vault as part of Apple’s iCloud suite of services. Users can easily access their stored data by simply logging in to the same iCloud account on any Apple device. Thanks to the end-to-end encryption feature, user data is protected and can only be accessed by the user, even in the unlikely event of an iCloud account breach. Furthermore, the two-factor authentication feature provides an extra layer of security to user accounts, ensuring that they remain safe and secure at all times.

What are Apple Passkeys?

Apple Passkeys hope to eliminate the need for passwords eventually. This authentication method adheres to industry standards and guarantees improved security features while streamlining the login experience.

Passkeys create a unique cryptographic key pair for every website or application you use. The website or app stores the public key while the private one remains on your device. When you log in, your device produces a cryptographic signature using the private key. The website or application can then authenticate your identity by verifying this signature. With Passkeys, you can rest assured that your online security is in good hands.

Like passwords, passkeys are kept in Apple's iCloud Keychain. 

The built-in Safari password manager, part of the iCloud Keychain, makes tracking website usernames and passwords easier. Better still, those items carry over to other Apple devices, including iPhone and iPad. In the coming years, Apple hopes to eliminate the need for passwords and replace them with more secure passkeys. However, username and password combinations remain the most popular choice for website authentication.

How to Easily Save Passwords on All Your Devices With Apple's iCloud Keychain

Want your passwords to follow you from phone to tablet to laptop apple's icloud keychain can help you create and manage all your credentials across the web, even on windows pcs..

Lance Whitney

Many security experts recommend using a password manager to create and keep track of logins. One option for iPhone, iPad, and Mac users is Apple’s built-in and free iCloud Keychain, which lets you devise, store, and use secure passwords. By default, iCloud Keychain works only with Safari, but it’s also available on Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge on a Mac or Windows PC through iCloud for Windows and the iCloud Passwords extension.

Apple's iCloud Keychain can also be used to store passkeys , credit card information, security codes, and Wi-Fi passwords. To secure sensitive information, the tool employs 256-bit AES end-to-end encryption for storing and transmitting data. You must also enable two-factor authentication to verify access through your device’s passcode, Face ID, or Touch ID.

To manage your passwords and most other information, you must be running iOS 7 or later, iPadOS 13 or later, and OS X 10.9 or later. To work with passkeys, you’ll need iOS 16 and iPadOS 16 or later and macOS Ventura or later. Now, let’s see how this all works.

How to Enable iCloud Keychain

First, you’ll need to enable iCloud Keychain. On an iPhone or iPad, go to Settings > [Your Name] > iCloud > Passwords and Keychain . Turn on the switch next to Sync this iPhone or Sync this iPad .

save password safari ipad

To enable iCloud Keychain on a Mac with macOS Ventura or later, open System Settings . Click your name and choose iCloud , then select Passwords and Keychain , and turn on the Sync this Mac switch. If you have a Mac with macOS Monterey or earlier, click the Apple icon and select System Preferences . Click the Apple ID icon and check the Keychain box.

save password safari ipad

Confirm Your Password Options

Make sure that iCloud Keychain is set up as your default password option. On an iPhone or iPad, head to Settings > Passwords . Authenticate access, then select Password Options . Ensure that the switch is turned on next to AutoFill Passwords and Passkeys and that iCloud Passwords & Keychain is checked.

save password safari ipad

On a Mac with macOS Ventura or higher, go to System Settings > Passwords > Password Options . Turn on the switches next to AutoFill Passwords and Passkeys and Keychain .

save password safari ipad

How to Save Account Passwords

Launch Safari on your iPhone or iPad and browse to a website for which you already have an account. Enter your username and password, and a prompt should pop up asking if you want to save this password in your iCloud Keychain. Tap Save Password . The password is saved, and you’re signed into the website.

save password safari ipad

The process works similarly on a Mac. To save a password for an existing account, launch the website in Safari. Type your username and password in the appropriate fields and sign in. A prompt asks if you’d like to save this password. Click Save Password .

save password safari ipad

How to Create Account Passwords

If you need to create a new account, many sites will allow iCloud Keychain to automatically create and display a suggested password. If you like the password, and it meets the requirements of the website, tap Use Strong Password . Otherwise, tap Other Options .

save password safari ipad

You can then choose your own password, copy a password from another source, edit the suggested password, exclude special characters, or select a password that’s easy to type. When you’re done, tap Use Strong Password . You’re signed into the website, and the account credentials are stored in iCloud Keychain.

save password safari ipad

At some websites, a suggested password may not automatically appear. In that case, you have to manually trigger it. Tap the Password field and then tap the word Passwords just above the keyboard. At the AutoFill Password screen, tap Create New Password ; iCloud Keychain then creates a password for you.

Confirm the website’s URL and username and tap Done . The generated password is inserted into the password field, allowing you to sign in.

save password safari ipad

To create credentials for a new account from a Mac, launch the website in Safari. Choose the option to create a new account and enter your username and password. Click the Keychain icon in the password field and select the Suggest New Password option.

save password safari ipad

Click on the new password. If you like it, click Use Strong Password . If you don't, click the Other Options button, then choose one of the listed options. Select the password you want to use and continue with the account setup.

save password safari ipad

How to Autofill a Password

Now, when you return to a website where you have an account, select the sign-in options and you should receive a prompt at the bottom of the screen asking if you want to sign into the site with your saved password. Tap the button that displays the username or account name, then authenticate via passcode, Face ID, or Touch ID, and you’re then signed into the site.

save password safari ipad

To autofill a password on a Mac, browse to a site for which your credentials have been saved. Click in the username field. A prompt appears in the field with the name of the account. Click the name and enter your Mac’s password or use Touch ID. Your credentials are automatically inserted, allowing you to log into the site.

save password safari ipad

How to Use iCloud Keychain in Chrome and Edge

With the right software, you can use iCloud Keychain in Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge on a Windows PC or Mac. Launch Chrome or Edge, then add the iCloud Passwords extension from its Chrome Web Store page or Edge Add-ons page .

save password safari ipad

Windows users can install iCloud for Windows from the Microsoft Store. Launch the app and sign in with your Apple account. During the setup process, a screen for Sync your Passwords will appear. Click the Sync Passwords button, then finish the setup. iCloud for Windows can also be used to add iPhone photos to your PC .

save password safari ipad

To save a password for an existing account, launch the website in either Chrome or Edge. Click in the email address field. The first time you do this, a notice asks if you want to allow iCloud Passwords to autofill your passwords. Click the notice, and you’re prompted to type a verification code that appears on the screen.

Enter your username and password in the appropriate fields and sign in. A prompt asks if you’d like to save this password in iCloud Keychain. Click Save Password .

save password safari ipad

You can also create and save the credentials for a new account, though this process is clumsier with Chrome and Edge than with Safari. To try this, browse to a site for which you don’t yet have an account. Enter your username and password, click in the password field, and select the Manage Passwords option. Authenticate through your PIN, facial recognition, or fingerprint scan.

save password safari ipad

Click the plus icon at the top of the left pane in the iCloud Passwords window, then type the site’s address and your username. Click Generate Strong Password to create a password. You can keep clicking that button to generate different passwords. When satisfied, click Add Password .

save password safari ipad

Return to the account setup process for the site. Click in the username field and select the entry you just created. You can then finish setting up your new account. To autofill a password, browse to a site with saved credentials. Click in the username field, select your saved account, then sign in.

save password safari ipad

Manage Your iCloud Keychain Passwords

Need to change something? You can manage all the accounts and passwords you’ve stored in iCloud Keychain. On an iPhone or iPad, go to Settings > Passwords . To remove an account you no longer need, swipe left and tap Delete . To edit the account settings, tap the account name, then Edit , and you can change the username, password, and other options. When finished, tap Done .

save password safari ipad

On a Mac, go to System Settings > Passwords . Double-click an entry or click the Info icon for an account you want to manage. Click Delete Password to remove the account. Click Edit to change the username, password, and other items. When finished, click Save .

iPad not saving passwords automatically

Hey there Dohrmc,

Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities. Just to confirm, are you using iCloud Keychain to save your passwords on your iPad Air? If so, check out the steps listed in the link below that can help with troubleshooting issues with your passwords not saving as expected: If iCloud Keychain won't turn on or sync - Apple Support

If iCloud Keychain is on, but Safari won't save or AutoFill account or credit card information
If Safari doesn't autofill your account names, passwords, or credit cards, or doesn't ask to save them, make sure you have the latest version of iOS and macOS on your devices. If the issue remains, follow these steps to check the AutoFill and Private Browsing settings on your device.
On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 10 or later
1. For account names and passwords:
- iOS 14 or later: Go to Settings > Passwords > AutoFill Passwords. Check that AutoFill Passwords is turned on. 
- iOS 12 or 13: Go to Settings > Passwords & Accounts > Website & App Passwords. Check that AutoFill Passwords is turned on.
- iOS 10 or 11: Go to Settings > Safari > AutoFill. Check that AutoFill Passwords is turned on.
2. For credit card information, go to Settings > Safari > Autofill. Check that Credit Cards is turned on.
3. Open Safari. If the navigation bar in Safari is black or dark instead of white or light gray,  turn off Private Browsing . Safari doesn't save account names and passwords when Private Browsing is on. 
Still need help to autofill credit card information? In Safari, tap the credit card field, then tap AutoFill Credit Card above the keyboard.

If still running into issues after going through the steps above, we'd recommend reaching out to Apple Support directly from this link here: Get Support - Apple

How to find saved passwords and credit cards on your iPhone in iOS 17

How to find your passwords and credit cards on iOS 17!

Tap Saved Credit Cards Use Face ID or Touch ID to verify your identity (or your four-digit code) Select the credit card you want to view

While iOS's iCloud Keychain and Passwords features are fantastic when it comes to auto-filling information on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, both also serve as a very handy repository for a lot of your information. 

For instance, if you're trying to buy something and you don't have the option to use autofill on iOS, you can dive into your settings to find your stored passwords, credit card information, and more. This is handy for making payments over the phone, or double-checking the password of an account before you try to log in somewhere new. Given how sensitive all this information is, it's stored safely behind iPhone's Touch ID or Face ID security measures, meaning you're the only person who can access it. 

So how do you find your passwords and credit card information on your iPhone? Luckily, iOS 17 features a dedicated section for your passwords, while autofill information for credit cards can easily be found in your Safari settings, here's everything you need to know. 

How to find passwords on iPhone

The iOS Settings app includes a standalone Passwords section which lists all of your saved accounts, usernames, and passwords in one place. Not only does it show you what these passwords are, but it can even make security recommendations based on whether Apple has detected compromised passwords in data breaches or leaks. Here's how to find passwords on iPhone:

  • Open the Settings app
  • Scroll down and tap Passwords
  • Verify your identity with Face ID or Touch ID

Open the Settings app Scroll down and tap Passwords Verify your identity with Face ID or Touch ID

  • Scroll down and tap the website name that you want the password for
  • Tap the Password tab to reveal the password
  • If you need to paste it somewhere, tap Copy

Scroll down and tap the website name that you want the password for Tap the Password tab to reveal the password If you need to paste it somewhere, tap Copy

How to set up AutoFill on iPhone

If you aren't using it already, you can enable AutoFill within Safari, which makes it easier to enter information such as your name, address, and more. 

  • Scroll down and tap Safari
  • Under the General section tap AutoFill

Open the Settings app Scroll down and tap Safari Under the General section tap AutoFill

  • Tap My Info
  • Select your name from your contacts list

Open the Settings app Tap My Info Select your name from your contacts listdown and tap Safari Under the General section tap AutoFill

How to find credit card information on iPhone

Just like your passwords, you can find your stored credit card information on your iPhone. This can be handy if you're making a payment over the phone, or entering your details for the first time without AutoFill assistance. Here's how to find it:

  • Tap Saved Credit Cards
  • Use Face ID or Touch ID to verify your identity (or your four-digit code)
  • Select the credit card you want to view

Tap Saved Credit Cards Use Face ID or Touch ID to verify your identity (or your four-digit code) Select the credit card you want to view

Your iPhone will then show you your card's name, number, expiry, security code, and a brief description. All of this information can be edited by pressing edit in the top right-hand corner.

Whenever I wish to visit some of my favorite websites, I don’t want to enter login details for them. And I guess most of you don’t like it either. So, what’s the better way to get over it securely? Pretty simple! If you are using iOS, you can enable Safari to save passwords for websites you frequently visit on your iPhone. Not for nothing, Safari is considered to be the most secure web browser. You can take full advantage of it to browse the web securely. I will talk more about what stands it apart. For now, let’s get to know how its AutoFill password feature works!

How to Enable Safari to Save Passwords for Websites

Step #1. Open Settings app on your iOS device.

Launch the Settings app on iPhone

Step #2. Now, scroll down and tap on Passwords & Accounts.

Tap on Passwords & Accounts in iPhone Settings

Step #3. Ensure that the switch next to AutoFill Passwords is turned ON , if it’s not already.

Note: in iOS 11, you need to go to Settings → Safari → AutoFill → Turn on the switch next to Names and Passwords.

Enable AutoFill password Feature in iOS 11

From now onwards, when you visit any site and log in, Safari will ask you to save the passwords. If you often visit that site, save the password and you are done!

Safari will ask you to save the passwords

If you ever want to stop the web browsing from asking you to save the passwords, follow the same steps mentioned above and then turn off the switch next to AutoFill Passwords.

Turn off the switch next to AutoFill Passwords in iPhone Settings

Apple’s standalone Passwords app syncs across iOS, iPad, Mac, and Windows

Apple’s new passwords app takes icloud keychain to the next level..

Mac app, passwords

At WWDC 2024 , Apple revealed a new Passwords app that expands on its existing iCloud Keychain features and syncs your passwords across more devices. Now, with Passwords , Apple is releasing a standalone app to manage passwords and passkeys on more devices, including Apple’s Vision Pro headset, as well as Macs, iPhones, and iPads. It also syncs with PCs via the iCloud for Windows app.

Platforms that have so far gone unmentioned? Just as the earlier rumor indicated , Google Chrome and Android. You can also view your Wi-Fi passwords in one place and share passwords in groups with people you want to have them.

One big advantage could be that it will integrate even more deeply with your Apple logins and family sharing setups than other options like 1Password or Bitwarden. And with the backing of Apple, it may seem like a safer option for people spooked by security breaches suffered by others like LastPass .

For years, Apple users would have to get their saved passwords from the Safari preferences window and later from Mac System Preferences or iOS Settings. Now, with the Passwords app, everything is in one place, including verification codes and security alerts.

Apple brings a full-featured Passwords app to the Mac, iPhone, iPad and Windows

That last one works via icloud..

The rumors are true. Apple is adding a dedicated passwords manager app to most of its operating systems. These include macOS, iPadOS, visionOS and iOS. It’ll even work on Windows by accessing the Passwords app via iCloud. That’s pretty neat. There are way too many passwords out there.

The first-party service is powered by iCloud Keychain and will compete with some heavy hitters in the space, like LastPass and 1Password. The simply-named Passwords app will be able to list various user logins and categorize them based on service type. For instance, banking passwords would be grouped differently than social media passwords. The app will also allow users to bypass manual password input by leveraging Face ID, Touch ID and autofill.

It’s worth noting that Apple already had a password manager, but it’s not exactly beloved and has been buried in the settings page. This new app, however, is quite a compelling option for those tied into the Apple ecosystem. The company didn’t say if the app was free or if it would require a monthly subscription.

Apple to Launch Standalone 'Passwords' App in iOS 18 and macOS 15

Apple plans to introduce a new Passwords app in iOS 18 , iPadOS 18, and macOS 15, reports Bloomberg 's Mark Gurman . The Passwords app, which will serve as an alternative to third-party apps like 1Password and LastPass, will provide a simpler way for iPhone , iPad , and Mac users to access their stored login information.

iOS 18 WWDC 24 Feature 1

Like the existing Passwords section in Settings, the dedicated Passwords app will be built on iCloud Keychain, Apple's feature that is able to sync login and password details across Apple devices. It will support all of the features that Passwords in Settings supports, and it will also work on the Vision Pro and Windows PCs.

The app includes logins and passwords for websites, Wi-Fi network passwords, and Passkeys, a feature that uses Face ID or Touch ID to log into websites instead of a password. Data from the app can be automatically inserted into websites and apps when a user logs in.

Apple's aim with the Passwords app is to encourage customers to use stronger passwords and avoid repeating passwords for multiple websites and services. Apple will be competing with longtime third-party password services like 1Password, and the company does plan to allow customers to import their passwords from other services.

Apple plans to unveil Passwords during next Monday's WWDC keynote event.

Safari 18 includes a new Highlights feature for summarizing articles and more

Marko Zivkovic's Avatar

Safari 18 introduces a new Highlights feature which can summarize articles and provide key info about a page

save password safari ipad

According to Apple, Safari 's new Highlights feature can provide users with useful page information as they browse. This includes things like article summaries, directions, and quick links.

Safari Highlights was originally titled "Intelligent Search" during its development period. The feature was discovered by AppleInsider in our exclusive report on Safari 18, months ahead of release.

With Highlights, users will be able to quickly learn and obtain relevant information about people, music, movies, TV shows, and locations.

When planning a trip, for instance, users will be able to get the most relevant details about a location. This can include the phone number and address of a hotel the user might be interested in.

According to Apple, Users will have the option to play an artist's music from Highlights or receive details about a TV show or movie.

Safari 18 also features a redesigned Reader view, which includes an AI-generated table of contents as well as summaries of news articles. The same types of summaries will also be available within the Highlights UI inside Safari.

Computer screen displaying an article titled 'Can Meditation Change Your Mind?' with abstract artwork of heads in profile and surrounding bubbles. Sections on meditation benefits listed on the side.

As we revealed in our exclusive report on Apple's Project BlackPearl , the company's AI software is capable of generating summaries consisting of exactly three sentences. It appears that Safari 18 will utilize this type of summarization for Highlights and the new Reader view.

Safari 18 also features a new Viewer mode, which immediately detects video on a page - and offers the option to move the video to Picture-in-Picture or switch to fullscreen mode.

Notably absent from the new version of Safari is Apple's in-house content blocker called Web Eraser . Apple apparently scrapped the feature ahead of release, likely due to pressure and complaints from the UK's News Media Association as well as a group of French publishers .

The AI-enhanced Safari browser is only one of many updates within the new operating systems Apple announced on Monday. At its annual WWDC , the company announced iOS 18, iPadOS 18 as well as macOS Sequoia .

Autofill your user name and password in Safari on Mac

With AutoFill, you can easily fill in your previously saved user names and passwords for websites. You can also have a strong password created for you when you set up a password on a website. Fields where information has been entered for you are highlighted in yellow.

Open Safari for me

Create a strong password

save password safari ipad

A strong password is suggested for you, with a yellow background. To decline the suggested password, click the password field, click Don’t Use, then enter a password.

Enter the rest of the required information to create the website account.

If you have iCloud Keychain set up on your Mac, a unique, hard-to-guess password is automatically suggested when you first click the password field.

Autofill a password

If you previously stored your user name and password for the website, use AutoFill to enter the information and sign in. Click in the user name field, then choose your user name (or use the Touch Bar ).

If your Mac or Apple keyboard has Touch ID , you can use Touch ID to fill in your stored user name and password and sign in. If the webpage has an option to remember your information (such as a “Remember me” checkbox), and you want to use that option, select it before you use Touch ID. If your Mac is connected to an external display while the built-in display is closed, enter the account password for your Mac, then click AutoFill.

Tip: If you set up iCloud Keychain to autofill information on your Mac and other Apple devices, you can use AutoFill to enter previously saved user names and passwords on all those devices.

If there’s no stored user name and password for the website, save the information and use AutoFill next time. Enter the user name and password, or automatically create a strong password (described below), then click Use Strong Password when asked.

Tip: You can also use your Apple ID and Sign in with Apple to create an account for the website. See Use Sign in with Apple .

If you can’t save a password or autofill a saved password

If you can’t save a password for a website, or your password for a website isn’t filled in automatically, try any of the following:

Make sure you selected to autofill passwords: Choose Safari > Settings, click AutoFill, then make sure “User names and passwords” is selected.

save password safari ipad

How Safari keeps user names and passwords secure

User names and passwords are encrypted in your macOS keychain . They’re also encrypted in your iCloud Keychain if it’s set up on your Mac.

If you remove user names and passwords in Safari, they’re deleted from your macOS keychain. They’re also removed from your other Apple devices if your Mac and other devices are set up for iCloud Keychain.

For security, set up your Mac to display the login window when it starts up and to require a password after sleep or a screen saver begins. Set up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch to require a passcode to unlock the screen: Go to Settings > Face ID & Passcode (or Touch ID & Passcode), then tap Turn Passcode On.

Important: Safari autofills your information for anyone who uses your Mac with your user login. It also autofills your information for anyone who uses your other Apple devices, if those devices and your Mac have iCloud Keychain set up.
