Passwords (Apple)

Passwords is a password manager application developed by Apple Inc. available for devices running iOS 18, iPadOS 18, macOS Sequoia, and visionOS 2 or higher.

The app allows users to store and access encrypted account information saved to their iCloud Keychain or created via Sign in with Apple.

Passwords can also be accessed through the iCloud for Windows program.

Users can choose to manually enter new account details into the app, requiring a label or website name alongside the associated username and password.

Additional notes can also be attached to an account for further details; however, users are unable to add their own data fields. Accounts created through Sign in with Apple will be automatically registered into the app and will display their proxy e-mail address if iCloud's "Hide My Email" feature is used.

When entering a new account into the keychain, the app will also provide a strong password suggestion composed of random numbers and letters. All details are encrypted and stored on a user's iCloud account via Keychain, allowing Passwords to be synced and used across devices. AutoFill allows details stored in the app to be automatically entered into a website or application for quick and simple account login.

Alongside standard passwords, the program supports the use of passkeys and multi-factor authentication security codes and will provide users with security recommendations if their passwords are easily guessable or found in a data breach. Accounts can also be added to shared groups to grant access to friends and family.

Passwords will also store the details of any connected Wi-Fi networks and can generate a QR code that can be scanned to connect another device to the same network.
