How to use Passwords, Apple iOS 18’s new iPhone password management app

Apple's iOS 18 update introduces a new app called Passwords, which aims to simplify password management for iPhone users. The Passwords app allows users to store and manage their numerous passwords, authentication codes, and passkeys in a single place. The app protects passwords behind biometric authentication, ensuring that even if someone else has access to the phone, they cannot access the passwords. Passwords can automatically sync across devices, including iPhones, iPads, Macs, and Windows PCs, and autofill login credentials. The app also allows users to add and manage passwords, including editing and deleting them. Additionally, Passwords has a built-in authenticator code generator, which can autofill authentication codes on website login screens. Users can also create groups to share passwords with family members and friends. The app provides security alerts, notifying users of potential security threats involving their passwords, such as data breaches or weak passwords. Passwords is available as part of iOS 18, which is a free download for supported iPhones, and is also available for iPad, Apple Vision Pro, and Mac. Overall, the Passwords app aims to make password management easier, more secure, and more convenient for users.
