What is Apple Passwords?

Passwords is Apple's password manager app for iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Vision Pro. It gathers website and app passwords, passkeys, verification codes and Wi-Fi passwords in one place, fills them in with AutoFill and syncs them through iCloud Keychain. Passwords can be shared with groups of trusted contacts, and on a Windows PC they are available through iCloud for Windows and its browser extensions.

Apple Passwords is free to use. See every plan

Good for

  • People whose devices are all Apple and who want a password manager at no cost
  • Families and housemates who share a handful of logins
  • Apple users with a Windows PC who need their passwords in Chrome, Edge or Firefox

Worth knowing

  • There is no Android or Linux version. On Windows it runs through iCloud for Windows, with extensions for Chrome, Edge and Firefox.
  • The App Store listing requires iOS 18, iPadOS 18 or visionOS 2 or later, and the Mac guide starts at macOS Sequoia 15.
  • A password or passkey can be shared with only one group, and every member needs iOS 17, iPadOS 17, macOS 14 or later.
  • Exports are unencrypted CSV files, and Wi-Fi passwords and Sign in with Apple accounts cannot be exported.
