How To Access Icloud Passwords



let's say you've been using safari to storeyour passwords. that way you can use strong, random, uniquepasswords for every website. it works great on your mac and because you'reusing icloud keychain you can use the same passwords on your iphone. they just automatically appear.


How To Access Icloud Passwords, but what if you're using another computer. you've got your iphone with you but you'rein a public place using a public computer or maybe you're at a friends house and youneed to log onto a website. how can you get your password from your iphone?


well, you can but it's not in safari. you have to go into the settings app. in settings, if you scroll down to the appshere and you go to safari you can see under general there's a section for passwords. when you go into passwords, and you're goingto have to enter your passcode or use touch id, you'll be able to see a list of all yourstored passwords and get access to them. so you can see a list and scroll through allof them or you can start by entering in some text at the top to search. you can search by your id that you're usingor the service that you are using.


so here i've started to search for my twitterpasswords and i can see my account names and then i can go into each one to look at thepassword. now you can see the password and you can nowuse that for entering it manually in another computer. you can also hit the edit button at the topto actually edit the information. so it's useful for other things as well ifyou need to edit on the fly. with the main list you can also use the editbutton at the top to delete passwords. if you scroll all the way down to the bottomthere's an add password button. here you can add a website, user name, andpassword while on the go.


this could be really handy because then, ofcourse, this would sync back to your mac.
