On an iPhone, saved passwords are now primarily stored and accessed through the dedicated Passwords app , introduced with iOS 18. This app holds all your saved passwords and passkeys in one place, separate from the Settings app. To find your passwords:
- Look for the Passwords app on your Home Screen or in the App Library.
- Alternatively, swipe down on your Home Screen and type "Passwords" in the search bar to locate the app quickly.
- Open the app and authenticate using Face ID, Touch ID, or your passcode.
- You will see a list of saved accounts; tap any entry to view the username and password details.
If you prefer, you can also access passwords via Settings by:
- Opening Settings.
- Scrolling down and tapping Passwords.
- Authenticating with Face ID, Touch ID, or passcode.
- Selecting a website or app from the list to view or edit its password.
Additionally, Siri can help you find saved passwords by voice commands like "Show my passwords" or "What is my [app/website] password?" after authentication
. In summary, with iOS 18 and later, the Passwords app is the central place for managing saved passwords on an iPhone, while the Settings app still provides access under the "Passwords" section.
