Sharing Passwords (and Passkeys)
Apple has been gradually building a full-fledged password manager over the past few iOS releases. While there’s no standalone app (yet), you can access it under Passwords in the Settings app, and as of iOS 16, it can store passwords, passkeys, one-time security codes, and notes, and even get security recommendations about weak and compromised passwords.
With iOS 17, Apple is taking that to the next level with Family Passwords, a feature that will let you share both passwords and passkeys with trusted contacts. This is done by creating a shared group that you invite others to and then choosing what to share in that group. Despite the name, members of a shared passwords group don’t have to be a part of your family sharing group — you can invite anyone with a compatible iPhone, iPad, or Mac. Other members can also share passwords, but only the group creator and add or remove other members.
