The app’s Security section informs you if you have chosed easily guessable or reused passwords, or if that particular password has been compromised (i.e., appears in public data leaks). To edit passwords, select the “All” section and then choose the password credentials you wish to edit. The latest Apple OS updates (iOS 18, iPadOS 18, macOS Sequoia) have introduced a standalone Passwords app, to make users’ passwords, passkeys, Wi-Fi passwords, and verification codes easily accessible. The app features separate sections for passwords and logins (“All”), passkeys, two-factor authentication codes, Wi-Fi passwords, security warnings, and deleted logins. The Passwords app allows you to filter and sort accounts by creation date, credential type, or shared group status, making it easy to find the accounts you need. You can also delete passwords that you don’t need anymore by selecting Delete Password. Selecting a login entry displays fields for the site or app name, username, password, notes, and the date the entry was last modified. You can select the “Change Password” button, which will open the website of the online service for which you should update the password. Add the website, app, or label, choose a username and password you want to create, or select a strong password suggestion. You can access the Passwords app on your iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Vision Pro, and on Windows via the iCloud for Windows app. All passwords sync securely with iCloud Keychain, enabling you to access them across your devices. To create a new login or password, click the “+” at the bottom of the main interface.
