Key Takeaways and Next Steps

Accessing the Apple Passwords App

The Passwords app is now a standalone application in iOS 18, iPadOS 18, macOS Sequoia, and visionOS 2. You can find it on your Home Screen or in the Applications folder on Mac. For security, access requires Face ID, Touch ID, Optic ID (for Vision Pro), or your device passcode.

Saving and Managing Passwords

When you log in to a website or app, Apple prompts you to save your credentials. You can view, edit, and delete stored passwords within the app. The Passwords app helps you stay secure by flagging weak and duplicate passwords and sending real-time breach alerts if your credentials are compromised.

Security Features

Your stored credentials are protected with end-to-end encryption and AES-256 bit encryption. The app also includes password health checks, helping you maintain strong, unique passwords across your accounts.

Retrieving Passwords Easily

Quickly find saved logins using the search function in the Passwords app. You can also copy and paste credentials when needed for easy access.

Auto-Fill for Convenience

To turn on Auto-Fill, open the Passwords app settings and enable "AutoFill Passwords." This feature automatically fills in your login credentials on websites and apps across all your Apple devices.

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) Support

The Passwords app can store and auto-fill verification codes for accounts that use two-factor authentication (2FA), adding an extra layer of security. Check your account settings to enable this feature where available.

By using Apple’s Passwords app, you can keep your login credentials secure while making sign-ins more convenient. Explore the app’s features and regularly update your passwords for better security!
