Use iCloud Keychain to keep passwords, accounts and more up to date with iCloud
With iCloud Keychain, you can securely store your passwords, accounts, and more in iCloud, and access them on all of your devices.
Access the same passwords, accounts and more on all of your devices
When you set up iCloud Keychain, your important information is stored in the cloud, which frees up space on your device. iCloud Keychain uses industry-standard technologies, like end-to-end encryption, to keep the following information secure:
Safari user names and passwords
Passkeys
Credit card numbers and expiration dates
Wi-Fi and AirPlay passwords
The accounts you use in Mail, Contacts, Calendar and Messages
Because your information is stored in the cloud, you can access it anywhere that’s set up for iCloud Keychain, including your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and Mac. You can also access web passwords on a Windows computer when you turn on iCloud Passwords in iCloud for Windows.
Changes you make on one device – like updating a Safari user name, changing a password or deleting an account – automatically appear on all of your devices. Your information is always up to date, no matter where you access it.
Share your passwords and passkeys with others
With iOS 17, iPadOS 17, macOS Sonoma, or later, you can share passwords and passkeys with a group of trusted contacts. Everyone in the group can add and edit passwords to keep them up to date. Because sharing is through iCloud Keychain, it’s end-to-end encrypted. See “Share passwords or passkeys with people you trust” in the iPhone, iPad, or macOS User Guide.
Note: If you move a password into a shared group, you can only access the password on an iPhone or iPad with iOS 17, iPadOS 17 or later, or a Mac with macOS Sonoma or later.
