Create website and app passwords on iPhone

When you sign up for services on websites and in apps, you can let iPhone create strong passwords for many of your accounts, or you can create your own passwords. iPhone stores the passwords in iCloud Keychain and fills them in for you automatically, so you don’t have to memorize them. If you use the same password in more than one account, iPhone flags it for you to change.

Note: For iPhone to create and store passwords, iCloud Keychain must be turned on. Go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Keychain.
