Are you using iCloud Keychain to store your login information on your iPhone or iPad? If so, it’s important to know how to edit those saved passwords. This guide will show you how to easily update your passwords and login information using iCloud Keychain.
iCloud Keychain is a built-in tool for iOS and iPadOS devices that securely stores your online account information and automatically fills in login details. However, if you change your password for any of your accounts, you need to manually update it in Keychain for it to work properly. Fortunately, editing saved passwords on iPhone and iPad is a straightforward process.
How to Edit Saved Passwords on iPhone and iPad
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
- Scroll down and tap on “Passwords & Accounts.”
- Authenticate with Face ID or Touch ID.
- Tap on “Website & App Passwords.”
- Here you’ll find a list of your saved accounts. Select the account you want to edit.
- To update the password, tap on the current password field, enter the new password, and tap “Done.”
That’s it! You’ve successfully edited the saved password on your iPhone or iPad using iCloud Keychain.
It’s worth noting that iCloud Keychain may not have all the advanced features of third-party password managers like LastPass or Dashlane. However, it seamlessly works across Apple devices, and you can manually add logins and passwords to Keychain on iOS and iPadOS, which syncs to other devices using the same Apple ID with iCloud Keychain.
