Safari Password Manager: How to save, view and manage passwords in Apple's browser

Thanks to iCloud Keychain, you can save browser username and password combinations.

• Quick steps

Tools and Requirements

Step by step guide to using the safari password manager, final thoughts.

You probably already know about iCloud if you're using at least one Apple device. The cloud storage and synchronization service allows it to store and access content across multiple devices, including Mac, iPhone, iPad, and more.  These include files and information like documents, photos, music, video, and contacts.

Apple's iCloud service is also at the heart of the iCloud Keychain , where you can store website usernames/passwords, among other items. In this how-to, we're concentrating on how to add, edit, and delete Safari password content. Similar tools are available on other browsers like Microsoft Edge and Mozilla Firefox . 

• You should also consider the best browsers and best secure browsers .  

Steps for saving, viewing and managing passwords

• Before you can save any username/password combinations, you must first be sure to have an Apple ID or iCloud account.
• From there, you can begin adding usernames and passwords for websites you frequent. 
• You can also take advantage of Apple's new passkey feature. 
• Safari is only available on Apple devices such as Mac, iPhone, and iPad. 

1. Go into the manager

To get started, you must first create an Apple ID . The username/password combinate is usable across all Apple devices to log into iCloud.com. You can proceed once you have an Apple ID and are logged into your device. 

On Mac, the Safari password manager is located by choosing Safari on the menu bar at the top left of your Mac. From there, click Settings from the pull-down menu. 

Next, click on the Passwords option at the top. Input your password as needed. 

2. Adjust existing password settings

You can adjust password information in the iCloud Keychain directly from Safari. To get started, go into the Passwords section of Mac Settings (see above) and log in as necessary. Then, use the search box on the left side of the display to find the password information you wish to change. Click Edit . 

You can change the username and password for a website and add notes when applicable. After making a change, click Save . 

Click Delete Password to delete the password information. 

Thanks to iCloud, any changes you make here will also be reflected in other Apple devices that use your Apple ID. 

4. Using Autofill in Safari

With AutoFill, you can fill in your previously saved usernames and website passwords. The tool is also a great way to add a new username/password combination for the first time and to create a strong password. 

You will see AutoFill pop up when a website asks you to create a password.

You will see an Autofill prompt In Safari when it's time to use or create a password. 

Click the AutoFill Key button, then choose Suggest New Password . For optimal security, you should use the suggested strong password. However, if you choose not to use the suggested password, you can easily select the password field, click “ Don’t Use ,” and enter your preferred password.

From there, enter the rest of the required information to create the website account.

Why use a separate password manager instead of a browser?

While most web browsers have their own password management feature, except for Safari which incorporates it into iCloud Keychain, in-browser password managers have limitations. They can only be used with one specific browser and cannot be accessed from other browsers. On the other hand, standalone password managers are compatible with any browser on your device, making them a more versatile option. Moreover, it is important to consider security when choosing a password manager. Browsers are not updated as frequently as standalone password managers, which can pose a security risk in case of a breach.

Does Safari have a built-in VPN?

Like many other browsers, Safari does not come with a pre-installed VPN. However, several reliable third-party VPNs like ExpressVPN, NordVPN, and SurfShark can easily be integrated with Safari. With a VPN, you can significantly boost the security and privacy of your online activities.

Are browser password managers safe?

To guarantee the safety of your passwords, using browser password managers like Safari with encryption is a great first step. However, there are additional measures you can take to further enhance your protection. It is highly recommended to create a strong and secure master password. The newest optional feature in Microsoft Edge mandates that you input your master password before making any changes to the password manager, thereby adding an extra layer of security. Regularly backing up your password manager is also a wise precaution in case of loss or theft. Another crucial step is creating a Firefox profile, allowing content synchronization across devices. This ensures that any changes made on your computer are reflected on your mobile device and vice versa.

What is iCloud Keychain?

iCloud Keychain is a highly reliable password manager that securely stores sensitive information such as passwords and credit card details in an online vault as part of Apple’s iCloud suite of services. Users can easily access their stored data by simply logging in to the same iCloud account on any Apple device. Thanks to the end-to-end encryption feature, user data is protected and can only be accessed by the user, even in the unlikely event of an iCloud account breach. Furthermore, the two-factor authentication feature provides an extra layer of security to user accounts, ensuring that they remain safe and secure at all times.

What are Apple Passkeys?

Apple Passkeys hope to eliminate the need for passwords eventually. This authentication method adheres to industry standards and guarantees improved security features while streamlining the login experience.

Passkeys create a unique cryptographic key pair for every website or application you use. The website or app stores the public key while the private one remains on your device. When you log in, your device produces a cryptographic signature using the private key. The website or application can then authenticate your identity by verifying this signature. With Passkeys, you can rest assured that your online security is in good hands.

Like passwords, passkeys are kept in Apple's iCloud Keychain. 

The built-in Safari password manager, part of the iCloud Keychain, makes tracking website usernames and passwords easier. Better still, those items carry over to other Apple devices, including iPhone and iPad. In the coming years, Apple hopes to eliminate the need for passwords and replace them with more secure passkeys. However, username and password combinations remain the most popular choice for website authentication.

Security experts are always reminding us that our online accounts should have strong passwords. The only problem is that remembering strong passwords for various accounts can be a real drag.

You might be wondering whether it is safe to save passwords on an iOS device. Yes, it is, as Apple uses its own utility known as Apple Keychain, which stores all your usernames and passwords and encrypts them so that only you can access them. In fact, even Apple can’t access your personal data. Here’s how to make Safari save your passwords on iPhone and iPad.

• Go to the site whose credentials you want Safari to save.
• Sign in as you usually would.

• In the next window, you’ll be asked if you want to save the login information in iCloud Keychain for the next time. If you tap on “Save Password,” your credentials will be saved.

The next time you visit the site, Safari will automatically fill in the information for you to sign in.

If you have multiple logins for that same website, you will see multiple options listed. Tap the one you want to use. If there’s a third, fourth, etc., that isn’t shown, click the “Passwords” link (just above your virtual keyboard). You’ll be able to find the correct one in your list of saved logins.

Moreover, if you ever change your password on the site, you will be asked whether you want to update your password.

How to Save Passwords on Safari

It's free and super easy to set up

Have you ever found yourself constantly forgetting the passwords to your online accounts? With Safari's password management features, you can easily save and store your passwords for quick and easy access. In this guide, we'll take a deep dive into how to save passwords on Safari, as well as how to utilize features like AutoFill, iCloud Keychain, and the Password Generator to further simplify your online experience.

Understanding Safari's Password Management Features

Safari is a popular web browser that offers a variety of features that make browsing the internet easier and more convenient. One of the most useful features of Safari is its password management tools. These tools can help you store, access, and create strong passwords for your online accounts. In this article, we will explore three of the most popular password management features offered by Safari: AutoFill, iCloud Keychain, and the Password Generator.

AutoFill is a tool that is integrated into Safari's settings. It allows users to automatically fill in information, like names, addresses, and credit card information, when filling out forms online. This feature can save you a lot of time and effort, especially if you frequently fill out online forms. AutoFill can also be used to save and store passwords for different websites. This means that you don't have to remember all of your passwords, as Safari will do it for you.

One thing to keep in mind when using AutoFill is that you should only use it on secure websites. This is because AutoFill stores your personal information, including your passwords, on your device. If a website is not secure, it could be vulnerable to hackers who could access your personal information.

iCloud Keychain

iCloud Keychain is another password management feature that is available on all Apple devices and can be enabled in your Safari settings. With iCloud Keychain, you can sync your stored passwords and credit card information across all of your Apple devices. This feature ensures that you never lose a password again, even if you lose your device.

Another benefit of iCloud Keychain is that it can suggest strong, unique passwords for your online accounts. This means that you don't have to come up with your own passwords, which can be difficult to remember and easy to guess. iCloud Keychain can also store other sensitive information, like Wi-Fi network passwords and website usernames.

Password Generator

The Password Generator is another amazing feature that Safari offers. It helps you generate strong and unique passwords for your online accounts, helping to keep your data secure. When you create a new account on a website, Safari will offer to generate a password for you. This password will be a random combination of letters, numbers, and symbols, making it virtually impossible for anyone to guess.

One thing to keep in mind when using the Password Generator is that you should never reuse passwords across multiple websites. This is because if one of your passwords is compromised, all of your accounts that use that password could be vulnerable to hackers. By using the Password Generator to create unique passwords for each website, you can help keep your data secure.

In conclusion, Safari's password management features can make browsing the internet more convenient and secure. By using AutoFill, iCloud Keychain, and the Password Generator, you can save time, remember your passwords, and keep your data safe. So the next time you're using Safari, be sure to take advantage of these amazing tools!

Enabling and Setting Up AutoFill

If you're looking to simplify your online experience and make it easier to fill out forms and login to different websites, AutoFill is a great feature to enable.

Accessing Safari Preferences

To enable AutoFill, you'll first need to access your Safari preferences. You can do this by clicking "Safari" in your Mac's menu bar and then selecting "Preferences".

Configuring AutoFill Settings

After accessing your preferences, select the "AutoFill" tab to configure AutoFill settings. Here, you can choose what contact information and credit cards you would like Safari to remember. To enable password storage, make sure that the "User names and passwords" checkbox is selected.

Saving Passwords for New Websites

After enabling the "User names and passwords" checkbox, Safari will automatically save any new passwords that you enter on different websites. You may be asked if you want to save your password, and if you select "yes", Safari will store it securely in your iCloud Keychain.

Using iCloud Keychain for Password Syncing

Enabling iCloud Keychain can be a lifesaver when you need quick and easy access to your passwords and other sensitive information from all of your Apple devices.

Setting Up iCloud Keychain

To enable iCloud Keychain, go to your Apple ID account, select "iCloud", and then turn on "Keychain". Follow the prompts to confirm your identity, and then choose a security code for authentication purposes.

Syncing Passwords Across Devices

With iCloud Keychain enabled, all of your stored passwords will be synced across your Apple devices, making it easy to access them from anywhere. Whether using your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, you can quickly and easily sign in to any of your online accounts with just a few clicks or taps.

Managing Stored Passwords in iCloud Keychain

You can also manage your stored passwords in iCloud Keychain by going to "Keychain Access" in your "Applications/Utilities" folder on your Mac. Here, you can add, delete, and edit passwords, as well as create new ones with the Password Generator.

Creating Strong Passwords with Safari's Password Generator

When it comes to online security, it's important to have strong, unique passwords for each of your accounts. Luckily, Safari's Password Generator makes it easy to create these passwords.

How the Password Generator Works

The Password Generator can be accessed from the "AutoFill" tab in your Safari preferences. Simply click "Edit" next to "User names and passwords", and then select "Change Passwords" to bring up the Password Generator. The generator will then create a unique and secure password that you can use for your account.

Customizing Generated Passwords

If you prefer to create passwords yourself, you can also use the Password Generator to create a base password that you can then customize by adding numbers, symbols, or even your own words.

Updating Existing Passwords with Stronger Alternatives

Finally, if you have already created passwords for your accounts, Safari's Password Generator can help you update them with stronger alternatives. Simply go to the website you want to update, select "Change Password", and then use the Password Generator to create a new password. This ensures that your data is always secure and protected, no matter what.

With features like AutoFill, iCloud Keychain, and the Password Generator, Safari makes it easy to save and store your passwords. By following the steps outlined in this guide, you can simplify your online experience and keep your data more secure than ever before.

How to save passwords for all Web sites in Safari

By default, Safari will prevent saving passwords for some sites, but this can be undone if desired.

With the myriad of online services that require password protection, password management in your Web browser has become a practically essential service. Most browsers, including Apple's Safari browser for OS X, have some form of password management built-in, and when you visit a site that requests authentication, the browser should prompt you to save the entered credentials. However, some Web sites may be specifically built so browsers will not store passwords.

This feature is great for some sites, such as banking and medical sites which contain private and sensitive information; however, there may be others that you use for more benign purposes, which still prevent Safari from saving passwords.

When you encounter one of these sites, Safari may show you a small message at the point of password entry which claims the site has requested Safari not save your password.

For these sites, Safari can still save the password, though it is not a default option. To do this, go to the Passwords section of Safari's preferences, where you will see a checkbox at the bottom of the window which says "Allow AutoFill even for websites that request passwords not be saved." Toggle this setting, and you should now be able to save your site's password.

Do keep in mind that with this setting, Safari may try to save the passwords for financial and medical services as well, so to prevent saving passwords for these sites you may have to be a little more careful when prompted. If you do inadvertently save a password, you can easily remove it by again going to the Passwords section in Safari's preferences, searching for the site, and then selecting it and clicking the Remove button.

Browse privately in Safari on iPhone

Visit sites privately

You can use Private Browsing to open private tabs that don’t appear in History on iPhone or in the list of tabs on your other devices. Tabs in Private Browsing aren’t shared with your other Apple devices, even if you’re signed in with the same Apple ID .

If you have a passcode set on your iPhone, Private Browsing locks when it’s not in use. Private Browsing may not lock immediately.

Swipe right on the tab bar at the bottom of the screen until Private Browsing opens, then tap Unlock.

Note: Any Safari extensions you have installed that have access to browsing data are automatically turned off in Private Browsing. To turn on an extension in Private Browsing, see Use extensions .

Choose a search engine for Private Browsing

Tap Private Search Engine, then choose a search engine.

View the Privacy Report

Safari helps prevent trackers from following you across websites and viewing your IP address. You can review the Privacy Report to see a summary of trackers that have been encountered and prevented by Intelligent Tracking Prevention on the current webpage you’re visiting. You can also review and adjust Safari settings to keep your browsing activities private from others who use the same device, and help protect yourself from malicious websites.

Use iCloud Private Relay to browse the web with more privacy

When you subscribe to iCloud+ , you can use iCloud Private Relay to help prevent websites and network providers from creating a detailed profile about you. When iCloud Private Relay is turned on, the traffic leaving your iPhone is encrypted and sent through two separate internet relays. This prevents websites from seeing your IP address and exact location while it prevents network providers from collecting your browsing activity in Safari.

See Protect your web browsing with iCloud Private Relay on iPhone to learn how to:

Turn iCloud Private Relay completely on or off for your iPhone.

Turn iCloud Private Relay on or off for a specific Wi-Fi or cellular network.

Turn iCloud Private Relay off temporarily.

Set the specificity of your IP address location.

Temporarily allow a website to see your IP address

If a website relies on IP filtering, monitoring, or rate-limiting, it might require your IP address to be visible. You can turn off iCloud Private Relay temporarily for that website only.

Note: iCloud Private Relay isn’t available in all countries or regions. See the iOS and iPadOS Feature Availability website .

Tap Show IP Address.

Your IP address remains visible to that website until you leave the website or close its Safari tab. iCloud Private Relay remains on for other websites.

To turn off or pause iCloud Private Relay for all websites, see Protect your web browsing with iCloud Private Relay on iPhone .

Control privacy and security settings for Safari

Prevent Cross-Site Tracking: Safari limits third-party cookies and data by default. Turn this option off to allow cross-site tracking.

Hide IP address: Safari automatically protects your IP address from known trackers. For eligible iCloud+ subscribers, your IP address is protected from trackers and websites as you browse in Safari. If this option is off, your IP address isn’t hidden.

Fraudulent Website Warning: Safari displays a warning if you’re visiting a suspected phishing website. Turn this option off if you don’t want to be warned about fraudulent websites.

Camera: Choose whether Safari websites can use your camera without asking you first. Tap Camera, then choose Ask, Deny, or Allow.

Microphone: Choose whether Safari websites can use your microphone without asking you first. Tap Microphone, then choose Ask, Deny, or Allow.

Location: Choose whether Safari websites can use your location without asking you first. Tap Location, then choose Ask, Deny, or Allow.
