What Are Apple Passwords?

Apple passwords encompass a suite of features that allow users to manage their authentication credentials within the Apple ecosystem. This functionality is accessible through the Passwords settings in iOS devices, where users can store and edit saved passwords and passkeys. These credentials are securely stored and can be easily managed by the user, enabling them to view, edit, or delete them as needed.

Using iCloud Keychain, Apple passwords can be kept up-to-date and synced across multiple devices, ensuring that the user has access to their saved credentials whenever they switch between their Apple devices. The security of these passwords and passkeys is maintained through end-to-end encryption, providing robust protection against unauthorized access. Additionally, users can utilize Siri to quickly find their saved passwords just by using voice commands.
