Most people don’t Use a password manager or two-factor authentication—even people who know it’s a good idea—because the installation and management after another application It just looks cumbersome. Well, if you’re an Apple user, you don’t need another app anymore: your device can manage passwords, generate two-factor authentication codes for you, and you can even sync them to your Windows PC.
Password managers matter. Why? To quickly recap, using the same password for every website and app is an open invitation for hackers to gain access to all of your accounts. This is because passwords get leaked regularly, and a leaked password on one site can give hackers access to all your other accounts if you use the same password everywhere. It is better, then, to use a completely different password on each site, but no human being can remember many passwords.
Password managers are the best solution we have at the moment, because they can generate and then store secure passwords for all of your services. Most people don’t use one, because such apps can be complicated to learn, and the best ones aren’t free.
So it’s great that Apple offers such functionality. But there is a downside: It’s a little buried, if not completely hidden. However, if you’re a Safari user with multiple Apple devices, this feature means you can quickly generate and save secure passwords for all of your accounts. Here’s how. Note that you’ll need an iCloud account (free) for this service to sync passwords between devices, though if you’re an Apple user you almost certainly already have one.
Create passwords
To get started, you may need to enable the feature, which you can find in your device’s System Settings under passwords. Make sure iCloud Keychain running. Windows users should also install iCloud for Windows, which can sync your passwords with Chrome or Microsoft Edge.
The simplest way to add passwords to Apple’s hidden password manager is to just start using your devices and save passwords as you go. When you sign into any online account in Safari, or in any app on your iPhone or iPad, there is generally a pop-up asking if you want to save the password in Autofill iCloud Keychain. This is the simplest way to add accounts: just tap Save the password button and your username and password will be saved.
Alternatively, if you’re signing up for a new account, you’ll generally be offered a strong, auto-generated password – if not, you can tap the key icon above the keyboard on mobile or in the right-hand side of the password field on desktop. In either case you should see a file Add a new password option, which can generate a strong password for you automatically.
From now on, when you log in to the site, your device will offer to fill in your username and password for you. It will generally use TouchID, FaceID, or the system password to confirm your identity, and then fill in the username and password field. This saves you from having to remember passwords and even usernames that you use to log into websites.
