widespread password breaches are becoming increasingly common on the internet, a crucial element of maintaining proper cyber hygiene is to avoid reusing passwords across various apps and services. While it might appear convenient to have the same password for all your accounts, you jeopardize their security if just one app or service gets compromised and your password is exposed online. Thankfully, password managers enable you to utilize distinct passwords for your accounts without the need to remember each one. While there are some outstanding third-party password managers available, Apple provides its own version that is effortlessly integrated across all its platforms. You can also retrieve your passwords on Windows by using the iCloud app.
Prior to iOS 18, the built-in password manager on iPhone was somewhat hidden within the settings menu, but it now features a dedicated application called Passwords, which is pre-installed on iPhones. This app is user-friendly and allows quick access to saved passwords, passkeys, two-factor authentication codes, and Wi-Fi credentials. Additionally, it includes a Security section that lists all your saved accounts that may be affected by password leaks, alongside various other useful features.
