Secure your device, app and website passwords
On your iPhone or iPad with iOS 17 or iPadOS 17, or earlier, you can manage your passwords in Settings, in Spotlight Search or using Siri. You can also use the Password Security Recommendations feature to identify any weak or vulnerable passwords. Saved passwords appear in alphabetical order organised by the website or platform they’re saved on.
On your iPhone or iPad with iOS 18 or iPadOS 18, or later, you can manage your passwords in the Passwords app, where you can find all your passwords, passkeys and verification codes in one place. You can use them on all your devices when you sign in to iCloud with the same Apple Account and turn on Passwords & Keychain in iCloud settings. And if you use AutoFill to sign in to apps and websites, your passwords automatically appear in Passwords.

Use Password Security Recommendations with iOS 17, iPadOS 17 or earlier
If you create and store your own passwords for websites and apps, you can use the Password Security Recommendations feature to identify any weak or vulnerable passwords (for example, if they’re easily guessed or used multiple times). You can also use the feature to securely monitor your passwords and to alert you if any have been compromised through a known data leak.
Go to Settings
Turn on Detect Compromised Passwords to let iPhone securely monitor your passwords and to alert you if any passwords have appeared in known data leaks.
Review these recommendations for the passwords you’ve created:
Passwords marked as reused have been used across different domains. Using the same password for more than one service may leave the account vulnerable to an attacker who has discovered your credentials.
Passwords marked as weak may be easily guessed by an attacker.
Passwords are marked as leaked if the Password Monitoring feature has identified them in a known data leak.
To make an update to a reused, weak or leaked password, tap the item and follow the onscreen instructions.
Automatically delete one-time verification codes
In iOS 17, iPadOS 17, macOS 14 or later, single-use verification codes are filled in automatically, so you don’t need to leave the app or website you’re signing in to. You can choose to automatically delete the verification codes after entering them with Autofill, or keep them.
Do one of the following:
On your iPhone or iPad with iOS 18 or iPadOS 18, or later: Go to Settings
On your iPhone or iPad with iOS 17 or iPadOS 17, or earlier: Go to Settings
On your Mac with macOS 15: Choose Apple menu
> System Settings, click General
in the sidebar, then click Autofill & Passwords. Under Verification Codes, turn on Delete After Use.
