How to create multiple profiles in Safari on iPhone and iPad for work and personal (and more!)

If you’re anything like me, you use the same iPhone (or iPad) for work and personal life. It’s a lot simpler to carry around one phone than two. 

Unfortunately, one of the disadvantages of using the same device for work and pleasure is that when you use Safari to browse the internet, it combines all your settings, website data, bookmarks, history, etc., together. 

While other browsers, such as Edge, Firefox, or Chrome, have offered separate user profiles for a while, with iOS 17+ and iPadOS 17+, it’s finally Safari’s time! With profiles, you can save different bookmarks, favorites, etc., depending on the profile you select.

Using multiple profiles in Safari also helps keep you organized by activity (work, school, personal, etc.) or user (child, Grandma, spouse) by keeping each profile’s browsing activity independent.

And Safari takes it a step further by allowing multiple profiles, including a default personal profile (vs. Chrome which currently allows only one named profile on iPhones and iPads.)

Let’s learn how to set up and use profiles on your iPhone and iPad!

In a hurry?

If time is short and you don’t need step-by-step instructions, follow these directions to create and use profiles in Safari.

• Create new Safari Profiles via Settings > Safari > New Profile . 
• Use Safari Profiles by opening Safari > Tabs icon > Menu icon > Profile  and choosing the profile you want to use.

About using a profile in Safari

With these changes in Safari, once you set up your work and personal profiles, you can easily switch between them and store Safari data, including history, extensions, cookies, tab groups, and favorites, separately! This prevents your work browsing from affecting your personal browsing and vice versa.

It’s a huge advantage when using the same iPhone or iPad for multiple things or if you share an iPhone/iPad with others in your family, so you keep each separate inside a Safari Profile, and Apple does not share data between them. 

You can even set a specific profile for Safari when you use a Focus!

And with iCloud, Apple shares any profiles you create under your Apple ID with your other Apple devices, including iPads, iPhones, and even Macs.

Profiles are great when you share your Apple devices with multiple people or want to separate how you use Safari for work and personal.

Separate but not private!

One thing to note is that while Safari does not share information between profiles, someone who uses your iPhone or iPad can switch to any other Safari profile on it and see your profile’s info, including what websites you visited.

Additionally, while you can delete most profiles, Safari includes a default Personal profile that you cannot delete.

How to use profiles in Safari on your iPhone or iPad

First off, this profile feature is available in Safari on iPhones and iPads that run iOS/iPadOS 17 and above (and Macs that run macOS Sonoma and above.)

When you create a new profile, Safari keeps your browsing information separate from other profiles and maintains a wall between profiles so information is not passed back and forth.

When you create a profile on your iPhone or iPad, it syncs to other devices, including your other iPhones, iPads, and Macs running macOS Sonoma+ that use that same Apple ID.

And when you create a profile in Safari on Mac (with macOS Sonoma+), you find your Mac profiles there when you open Safari on your iPhone or iPad.

How to create and set up a new profile in Safari

• On your iPhone or iPad, open the Settings app and choose Safari .

• Repeat steps 2-6 for any additional profiles you want to create for Safari–for example, you might want to create a school or education profile if you’re taking classes. Or if your child, spouse, or parent also uses your phone, you might create one for them too.
• Any profiles you created sync between Apple devices that use the same Apple ID and use at least iOS/iPadOS 17 or macOS Sonoma.

Once you set up your profiles, all of the changes you make in Safari using a profile, such as your start page, history, extensions, and bookmarks, are only stored in that profile and are not shared with any other profile.

Once you create all the profiles you think you want, it’s time to see them in action.

How to use and switch between profiles in Safari on your iPhone and iPad

Switching between your profiles is super easy and helps you keep everything separate.

Link your Safari profile to a Focus

Another wonderful thing you can do with Safari profiles is link them to your different Focus modes, including Work, Personal, Sleep, and even custom Focuses.

When you choose to share focuses between devices, those devices reflect any changes you make to Safari profiles!

When you turn on a specific focus, you use focus filters to establish which profile you want Safari to use.

• Repeat steps 1-7 for any other focuses where you want to link a Safari profile.

How to delete multiple profiles in Safari on your iPhone or iPad

Deleting a profile is very simple. While you can remove most profiles, you cannot delete your personal profile (your default profile.)

• Open the Settings app and choose Safari .

Final thoughts

It’s welcome news that Safari finally supports profiles!

With profiles, you create different “users” for things like work, school, and personal. Or create profiles for your child, family members, and others with whom you share your iPhone or iPad.

With separate profiles, you keep each user’s Safari information separate, including things like bookmarks, history, passwords, and other settings.

However, just remember that separate does not equal private. At this time, anyone who uses your iPhone or iPad can switch to a different profile and review all that profile’s information, including website history.

How to Setup and use Multiple Profiles on Safari Browser

Safari is the preferred browser for a majority of iOS users. It is known for security and privacy features second to none. Apple has now announced Safari profiles for iOS, iPadOS, and Mac. The new feature lets you create multiple Safari profiles with separate settings. Safari Profiles is available on iOS 17, iPad OS 17 and macOS Sonoma. 

Why Do We Need Multiple Browser Profiles?

The first question that pops up is why. Multiple profiles are a great way to share your device without disturbing individual settings. This is especially true for iPad, which is often shared with the entire household. Here are some reasons why Safari profiles make a lot of sense. 

• Separate browsing history. Yes, no more sleuthing around others’ profiles. 
• You can have separate profiles under the same Apple ID. Each profile maintains its history, cookies, extensions, tab groups, and other preferences. 
• Multiple-user households are set to benefit the most. 
• One can create separate profiles for work and personal. This way, things will not get mixed up, and productivity will also increase. 

Apart from the above points, Safari profiles add an additional layer of privacy. Furthermore, you can lock Private browsing tabs with Face ID. Please note that Safari profiles is only available on iOS 17, iPadOS 17, and macOS Sonoma. All of these are in the early beta phase. Thus we don’t recommend installing it on the primary device. 

Steps to Create Multiple Safari Browser Profiles on iPhone and iPad

Time needed:  3 minutes

Already on iOS 17? Here’s how you can set up and use multiple profiles on the Safari browser. 

How to Switch Between Multiple Safari Browser Profiles on iOS and iPad OS

Apple has added a toggle that lets you shift between profiles. Here’s how to do it-

1. Open Safari and select the tabs icon from the bottom right of the screen.

2. Tap the drop down icon at the center.

3. Select the Profile dropdown from the Tab Groups menu. 

4. Select the desired Safari profile and tap Done to finalize the change.

Apple has devised a way to indicate a change in Safari profile. Remember how iOS had asked you to choose a color while creating a new profile? Well, the same color is now the background of the new tabs page. 

How to Create Safari Profiles on macOS 

Safari profiles feature is available on all Macs running macOS Sonoma. Follow the steps below to create and use Safari profiles on Mac.

1. Open Safari browser on your Mac. 

2. Click Safari and select Settings from the menu.

3. Click Profiles. Under the profile, you will see a Profiles button. Tap the button. 

4. Add a Name, Symbol, and color for the new Safari profile. 

5. You can create a new bookmarks folder or use existing ones. 

6. Done with all the settings? Click Create Profile .

There you go! You have finally created a new Safari profile on Mac. We want to highlight some important settings that will enhance user experience. 

Select the Extensions menu. You can whitelist or block certain extensions for a specific profile. New to Safari extensions? Here’s how to manage extension on iPad and iPhone .

1. Right-click on the Safari icon from the Dock and select New Window .

2. Select an option that says New Personal Window .

3. New Personal window will appear alongside the color scheme you chose earlier. Notice the title bar dropdown on the top right of Safari. The title bar displays the name of the active profile. Click it to switch between multiple profiles.

Supercharge Your Productivity With Multiple Safari Profiles

It has been a while since Google Chrome introduced a multi profile setup. At least in this aspect, Safari is playing catchup. Thankfully, the feature works as expected. It comes in handy when you want to separate professional stuff from private. I have created a separate Safari profile for my work and another for my personal. This way, both things stay separate and eventually help increase productivity. How many profiles do you use on the Safari browser, and for what? Let us know in the comments below.

• Stop Safari showing web pages open on other devices I have an iPhone, a new iPad Air and an old iPad Air. The iPhone and new iPad Air are for my own use, but the old iPad Air is shared between my, my partner and our son. At present, I use the same Apple ID to log into all three devices. This is convenient because it allows me to download apps onto the old iPad Air without having to repurchase them through the App Store. However, my Apple ID has Safari sharing (as part of the iCloud settings) switched on, which means that you can use the old iPad Air to view and close the Safari pages on my iPhone and new iPad Air.

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.

Add Two-Factor Codes to Password Entries in iOS 15, iPadOS 15, and Safari 15

Raise your hand if you’ve avoided enabling two-factor authentication for websites that offer it because it’s too much of a hassle to launch an app, find the appropriate site entry, copy a six-digit code and paste it in whenever the site requires that you validate yourself beyond your password. Apple feels your pain, and the company has a new streamlined way to reduce the friction in entering these short-lived codes.

Two-factor authentication significantly increases Internet security because it prevents attackers from easily hijacking online accounts. Even if you use a password manager to create strong, unique passwords for every site, passwords are still vulnerable to theft or interception. When a website’s login process requires a second factor—something you own or control, like a smartphone, tablet, phone number, or computer—you don’t have to worry about a stolen or intercepted password being sufficient to compromise the accounts.

Many sites want to use an SMS message (or a phone call) as a second factor, either defaulting to it or offering it as a secondary option. The problem is that a texted or spoken code doesn’t provide the assurance that the recipient is the party that has access—only that they have a phone number. It’s far too easy to hijack a phone number. It can be done via social engineering (talking a rep at a telecom firm into switching the number), flaws in how telecoms manage numbers , and hardware-level exploits across the telephone system .

While text and voice calls are better than not using two-factor authentication, they are relatively weak. Even as services are increasingly also supporting authentication apps or proprietary systems—like Apple’s two-factor authentication approach—many still fall back to weak SMS and voice calls.

A much better form of two-factor authentication is a shared-secret method called a Time-based One-Time Password (TOTP). Most sites that support two-factor authentication don’t require a TOTP but let you add it to an existing account. During the enrollment process, the site creates a seeding secret using its TOTP software, which it stores for your account and then shares with you. This seeding secret is typically displayed as a QR code for easy scanning, though some sites also show it as a hexadecimal-encoded number.

Setting up your side of two-factor authentication via TOTP is usually harder than enrolling at a site. You can add a TOTP secret and generate TOTPs with a standalone app like Google Authenticator (which doesn’t sync between platforms) or Authy (which does, securely), or as part of a password management tool, like 1Password . But given that only a small percentage of users rely on third-party tools, built-in TOTP support in Apple’s operating systems could drive much higher usage.

With iOS 15, iPadOS 15, and Safari 15 in macOS, that support is now in place. The updated Passwords interface bakes in the basics of password management for everyone. You work with passwords and TOTPs in Settings > Passwords in iOS 15 and iPadOS 15 and in Safari > Preferences > Passwords in Safari 15 for macOS. (Passwords won’t become a first-class macOS citizen until macOS 12 Monterey ships, at which point you’ll be able to access it in System Preferences > Passwords.) When a site or app prompts for a code later, it appears in the iOS/iPadOS QuickType bar or as an auto-fill prompt in Safari.

The ease of adding these second-factor codes and then generating them as needed should help increase usage and decrease frustration. It also makes it far easier for you to teach others how to use two-factor authentication with a minimum of fuss.

In iOS 15/iPadOS 15 and Safari 15 for macOS, once you’ve stored a password in Passwords, the easiest way to add a TOTP is with a QR code presented during enrollment:

• Go to the website or service for which you want to add TOTP verification and run through the process until you reach the QR code. (For instance, with Google, once logged in, click your image in the upper-right corner of a Web page, click Manage Your Google Account, click Security, and click 2-Step Verification. Enroll in authentication and select iPhone. You can also practice using this article , which has a non-functional but legitimate TOTP QR code.)

• A single matching account is shown, and you’re prompted to add a code to that.
• If multiple domains match, you’re asked to select or search for the correct entry.
• If no match can be found, you can search your stored passwords.

A code now appears in the Verification Code area.

If you can’t load the QR code directly within Safari in iOS/iPadOS, you can instead scan it with the Camera app, which recognizes the type of QR code and offers the same prompt as in Step 2 above.

You can also set up a TOTP through other methods. Go to Settings > Passwords in iOS/iPadOS or open Safari > Preferences > Passwords in Safari for macOS. The path bifurcates here, but in both cases, you can use a TOTP’s secret if it appears on the enrollment page.

In iOS or iPadOS:

• Select a password entry.
• Tap Set Up Verification Code.
• Choose either Enter Setup Key to enter the shared secret or Scan QR Code to point at the QR Code as above.

In Safari for macOS:

• Click Edit.
• Click Enter Setup Key.

After adding a TOTP, you will likely have to verify that you possess the correct code to finish enrollment.

These codes sync with the rest of a password entry’s details across your devices if you have iCloud Keychain enabled.

Unfortunately, you can’t migrate TOTPs from another app or ecosystem to Apple’s: authentication apps and systems don’t allow exporting the seed codes. Authy’s support documentation says, “In order to maintain security for our users, the Authy application does not allow importing or exporting 2FA account tokens.” Most sites also don’t let you re-display the TOTP enrollment process.

Thus, to switch from whatever you’re using now to Apple’s system, you’ll have to disable and re-enable two-factor authentication for each site or, if the site supports it, regenerate the seeding secret.

What if you want to try Apple’s system but maintain whatever app you’re using now? In that case, after you disable and re-enable two-factor authentication, you can scan the QR code or enter the setup key manually in multiple systems, one after another. Just add the QR code to Apple’s system, and then, while it remains onscreen, scan it with Authy or 1Password or whatever. You could even take a screenshot of the QR code for later addition into another app, but be sure to delete it permanently afterward, as retaining it in that unprotected form may increase your security risk.

Enter Your TOTP Code

After you enter the correct username and password for an account protected by two-factor authentication using TOTP, Apple’s software automatically recognizes the field and gives you another way to enter the automatically:

• In iOS and iPadOS, Apple automatically presents a verification code option in the QuickType bar when you tap in a field requesting the TOTP code. Simply tap the item in the QuickType bar to fill the field with the six-digit code.
• In Safari for macOS, the app may automatically select the field and offer the verification code option as a button you can click, or you may need to click the field to get that auto-fill option to appear. In either case, click it to proceed.

If neither of those automated options happens, open Safari > Preferences > Passwords, find the password entry, and click the username, password, or verification code to copy them for manual pasting into the login form. Some sites make it hard to log in.

TOTPs Are Tops

TOTPs are a robust way to validate your identity as the only person who should be allowed access to an account because you’re sending a cryptographically generated code that requires possession of a secret and that doesn’t pass in a useful form through any other communication systems. The only way for an attacker to acquire a TOTP would be to hijack it from someone who can generate it and then enter the code within a minute or so—a high bar—or steal and unlock one of their devices.

Don’t make the mistake of thinking you’re not important enough to have your accounts hacked. With the seemingly constant breaches of major sites revealing millions of usernames and passwords, attackers are automating how they test which accounts they can compromise. Two-factor authentication ensures that protected accounts remain safe from this kind of wholesale attack and from many targeted ones. If you can avoid phone-based codes and rely on TOTP with Passwords in iOS 15, iPadOS 15, and Safari 15 for macOS, you’ll have the best combination of security and ease of use.

Comments About Add Two-Factor Codes to Password Entries in iOS 15, iPadOS 15, and Safari 15

Notable replies.

I assume this syncs across platforms (MacOS, iPadOS and IOS) for all devices logged into the same Apple ID? I don’t think that was made clear in the article (though I may have missed it).

It syncs via iCloud Keychain like all other passwords and associated details if you have iCloud Keychain enabled. But we did not mention that!

…and now we’ve updated the article. Thanks for the catch!

I’m surprised apple would do something like this. Doesn’t this completely defeats the purpose of having 2 factors? When they are both stored together and autocompleted by the same system?

It’s not obvious, but it doesn’t violate the principle: something you know and something you have :

• A password can be possessed by anyone and, between times you change it, it’s fixed. In most, nearly all cases, someone can login from anywhere in the world knowing the email address or account name and password for an account.
• A second factor that is something you have has to be provably in your possession. The way to do that is to slice time—because that means you had a thing in your hand (probably) at an exact point in time. Because there’s an enrollment for 2FA, the secret part is settled then. The secret typically cannot be extracted, only a new one generated, which often results in an email notification that it happened.

The Apple verification code in Passwords is much more reliable than an SMS as a result. You have to have an iPhone, iPad, or Mac, be able to unlock it, and be able to validate your access to the code with password, Touch ID, or Face ID as well.

But if somebody has your password, they can use it both as the password and also to get the token, right? Isn’t the problem that Apple is putting the token beind the same system that also safeguards your other password? In that sense the two are no longer independent. Sure, initially the secret was exchanged and linked to you. But if now in the meantime your password has become compromised and somebody else claims to be you, how does this system stop them? I realize SMS can be a problem (if you cannot protect yourself from SIM hijacking), but at least there it appears the two systems used for authentication are entirely independent. A phone number and an iCloud account. Same goes for the little code generator fobs. But having your password locked by the same system that is locking your second token? Not sure how that can be considered 2 independent factors.

No, because the items stored by Apple in a local keychain are only accessible on the device and only with an administrative password on a Mac (or in some cases, Touch ID), or the device password, Touch ID, or Face ID (depending on circumstances) in iOS and IPadOS.

If iCloud Keychain is enabled, there is no access to password entries, including the stored secrets for TOTPs, except on validated end-point devices: any of your iPhones, iPads, or Macs. To add a device to iCloud and have it gain access to iCloud Keychain or enable iCloud Keychain on a device already logged into iCloud, you have to go through a validation process that requires entering the device password of another device in the set in order to receive appropriate encryption keys.

So the only way someone can access a stored verification code:

• Gain access to your device and know the device password to unlock it. If they already can do that, it’s somewhat game over in general.
• Use another device to add it to your iCloud Keychain set. To do that, they have to know your iCloud account name and password, obtain a two-factor validation code, and then enter the device password of another one of your pieces of hardware. In the meantime, email will be sent for the login to the Apple ID account’s registered address.

So I don’t see how someone can gain access to both the password on your device and the TOTP without the conditions above, which means that someone has heavily compromised you already. An additional safeguard would be not using Apple’s system, but a third-party one, like 1Password, and relying on a separate strong password to unlock the 1Password vault. But if someone has managed to obtain all your other keys and secrets, I can’t imagine that however you stored the 1Password secret (unless memorized), it wouldn’t be obtainable too.

Well with this system, yes.

But if you didn’t get your token from that same system, but instead from something independent like SMS or a code fob, you’d still have a fighting chance. When push comes to shove, I don’t know how much time I’ll need to set up new iCloud password, block accounts, or lock my stolen device. But I’d like to know I have given myself at least some, and not nothing at all.

I guess I just don’t like the idea of putting all eggs in one basket, even if that basket is very convenient. Personally, I’d prefer focusing on what fixes the other basket (so, for example, ensuring SMS tokens are safe because SIM jacking has been prevented) than getting rid of the second basket altogether. To that extent, in the US (where I suppose this problem is most prevalent) customers can ask T-Mobile to secure their SIM/phone number from transferral. I’d expect other carriers have similar systems in place. In two countries I worked in Europe I already knew nothing would happen to my SIM/number without me showing up with government photo ID in their store first. IMHO the way it should be.

There is nothing forcing you to add 2FA codes to iCloud Keychain, so, don’t. Use another method instead. Probably the safest for you is a fob or device such as a Yubikey. But Glenn’s response is correct. In order for somebody to gain access to your iCloud Keychain, there are a lot of hoops to jump through, and the iCloud Keychain is end to end encrypted; Apple even cannot access without the passphrase to one of your trusted devices.

I have one or two accounts with 2FA in my 1Password vault, just for convenience, but they are accounts I really don’t care about all that much. Most of my totp 2FA codes are stored in another way.

To answer this part, though all US carriers allow customers to add some sort of PIN to their account to prevent sim-jacking, there are reports of thieves who are able to sim-jack simply by bribing customer service agents when they call. So it’s not a perfect solution.

One of the nice things about using a password manager without 2FA is allowing someone take over your identity in an emergency or death.

In the case of LastPass, for example, you designate your executor as “trusted” in Emergency Access and specify how long you have to deny an access request. Then, when the time comes, all the executor needs to do is request access to your password vault and wait the specified time. (Obviously, the denial period has to be long enough that in normal situations you are confident that you’d get the request in time to deny it. The assumption is that if haven’t denied the request within this period, you must be incapacitated.)

For a better explanation, see:

How can you give your executor your digital legacy with 2FA turned on?

I have used TOTP authentication for many years now. At first it was just a few sites. When 1Password implemented it I moved over from Google Authenticator. As soon as a new site offers TOTP I add it to 1Password. I do not use apple key-chain except for wifi passwords. I wonder if the user interface with Apples password management is working better than 1Passwords. Is this a reason for me to move over TOTP sites to Apple’s password management?

One other thing. I guess Apple’s password management only works for Safari?

FWIW I’m now using this implementation to access 1Password.com itself

Smart, thanks for the tip!

Is the TOTP information included in password-protected iOS backups?

Great question. Password items are only included in encrypted local backups made via iTunes (pre-Catalina) or the Finder; they are not included in unencrypted local backups, nor in iCloud backups.

Keychain entries are only synced among devices using end-to-end encryption, so they’re not available in an Apple-encrypted form (only a device-encrypted one) on iCloud.com .

Oh, interesting. That makes sense—you need them backed up if you back up to the Mac and don’t use iCloud at all. But if you do use iCloud, as long as you turn on iCloud Keychain, they’re essentially backed up there, even if you have only one device.

Still too much work needed to use two-factor authentication for it to be worthwhile using. (But may change my mind if I get fully hacked – had to change passwords a few times, including Apple forcing me at one time for one account, and they had partly guessed a password in a phishing message, but nothing serious for the last 30 years – worst has been Yahoo refusing me to gain access to my own account, but no serious people has used them lately anyway …).

After the fact, accounts and ToTP managers do not give you ready access to the secret (which is encoded in the QR code). That’s because it’s highly risky to do so. However, I have several ToTP programs, some more convenient in some situations than others, and some don’t share across devices and OSes. And if a particular app ceases being supported, I want a fall-back. So recognizing that this is risky, I save the QR codes (or secrets) to print, and add them to all my ToTP apps. I store the printouts in a safe place.

It’s been quite a while since this article was written, but here’s some information that is new since it was written:

Google Authenticator now gives you the option to synchronize devices via your Google account. I keep it turned off, but you can do it.

Google Authenticator lets you export TOTP seeds. You select the ones you want to export and it generates a QR code, which you can scan from another device. This makes it possible to migrate codes to new phones/devices without needing to sync them through Google’s cloud servers.

You can also screen-shot that QR code if you want to archive a copy of your seeds. Of course, keep this image very secure, since it will grant an attacker access to any accounts secured by those TOTP codes. I keep a printed copy in a locked file cabinet for emergency use only. You could also use this to migrate from Google Authenticator to Apple’s system, should you not be able to import the code directly.

How to Use Safari's Built-in 2FA Code Generator

With online account hacking becoming increasingly widespread, Mac users should make sure they're taking every security measure available to them. In other words, consider using Apple verification codes to protect your accounts. Keep reading to learn how it works.

In macOS Monterey and later versions of its Mac operating system software, Apple's Safari browser (version 15 and later) includes a built-in two-factor authenticator that can generate verification codes for additional sign-in security. This means if a site offers 2FA, you can set up verification codes for it without downloading a third-party app.

Verification codes are backed up via iCloud , and once set up, the codes will autofill when you sign into the site using any Apple device linked to your Apple ID . This makes using 2FA on iPhone and iPad much more streamlined.

Enabling 2FA on the Account or Service

First, make sure you have the latest version of Safari (Safari 17). Once you've done that, you'll need to enable the use of a 2FA app on whichever website or service you are trying to secure. Note that if you've already enrolled an account with 2FA on a mobile app, you'll either have to unenroll from 2FA or use the current 2FA code from your mobile app.

Using Setup Keys

Once you've enabled 2FA on the account or service in question, you'll be asked to either enter a setup key on your device or scan a QR code using your device's camera. Note that you'll need to ensure that Safari's AutoFill feature is enabled (Safari ➝ Settings ➝ AutoFill) and the website's login credentials are saved in Safari for the 2FA code generator to work properly.

• Open Safari, then select Safari ➝ Settings... from the menu bar.
• Choose the Passwords tab, then either type your user password or use Touch ID to authenticate.
• Find and open the entry for the site you want to add 2FA to, then click Set Up next to "Verification Code," under Account Options.
• If the site offers a setup key, enter it in the Setup Key field. If it offers a QR code, Control-click it and choose "Set Up Verification Code". (Alternatively, you can download the QR code image and choose it using the option.)

Using Safari's Generated 2FA Code

• Open Safari and navigate to the website that requires two-factor authentication (2FA).
• Enter your username and password for the website as usual.
• When the site asks for a 2FA code, look for Safari's built-in suggestion that appears above the input field.
• Click on the 2FA code suggestion. Safari will automatically generate and fill in a 2FA code.
• Complete the login process by verifying the 2FA code, and you're done.

In future, when you come to log in to the site or service and you're prompted for a verification code, Safari will automatically display the latest code as an AutoFill option – all you need to do is click the code to enter it into the input field, and away you go.

Apple is bringing Face ID and Touch ID to the web with Safari 14

Apple’s Face ID and Touch ID have made it easier for users to log into their mobile devices like iPhones and iPads and on some Macs offering the Touch ID button. Now Apple is bringing Face ID and Touch ID to the web. At the company’s virtual Worldwide Developers Conference this week, Apple introduced a way for web developers to add support for Face ID and Touch ID to their websites, allowing Safari users to log in without having to enter their username and password.

In a WWDC session aimed at web developers, the company showed off the new functionality, which Apple touted would provide a “frictionless experience” for users.

Similar to how Face ID and Touch ID work today in iOS apps, web developers who choose to implement the new technology could prompt their users to choose a biometric authentication method the next time they visit their website.

Great news! Apple expands support for #FIDO Authentication with Safari 14 (MacOS/iOS)! Websites can use Touch ID / Face ID for secure and frictionless web logins via #WebAuthn API. Great video on how websites can get started: https://t.co/NZ92tEhFaL — The FIDO Alliance (@FIDOAlliance) June 24, 2020

The technology was built via the Web Authentication (WebAuthn) API, which allows developers to build authentication via the FIDO2 specification developed by the FIDO Alliance. It will be made available starting with Safari 14 for macOS and iOS, the organization said.

As CNET explains , Apple isn’t the first to use the browser technology — it’s already available in Firefox, Chrome and Microsoft Edge, for example.

Apple’s adoption, however, could push forward the larger biometrics movement. This  is due, in part, to Apple’s way of making complicated technology consumer-friendly and taking on the work of user education. Apple also has a sizable community of developers who get excited to roll out Apple’s latest technology.

The new system will be, by default, multifactor in nature.

Apple’s platform authenticator uses the secure enclave of the iPhone or iPad to provide the private keys, and guarantees they can’t leave the device. It also verifies the user by either their fingerprint or facial recognition. That makes it multifactor, as it combines something you have — the iPhone — with something you are — your biometrics information.

A report by Biometric Update also noted the WWDC session revealed Apple built its own attestation service, which is an optional service for those with higher security needs — like a bank. Because this technology can sometimes be used to violate privacy, Apple built its own version where it generates a unique attestation certificate for each credential. This prevents websites from tracking users across the web. This service isn’t immediately available, but will be soon.

Apple joined the FiDO Alliance earlier this year, signaling its intention to work toward a way to replace passwords with trusted devices and biometrics. It has also patented a way to use Face ID on a Mac, but this hasn’t launched.

Apple mengumumkan perubahan pada iOS, Safari, dan App Store di Uni Eropa

PRESS RELEASE

Bagi pengembang, perubahan ini mencakup opsi baru untuk distribusi aplikasi dan pemrosesan pembayaran Bagi pengguna, perubahan ini mencakup kontrol dan pengungkapan baru, serta perlindungan yang lebih luas untuk mengurangi risiko privasi dan keamanan yang ditimbulkan oleh DMA

CUPERTINO, CALIFORNIA  Apple hari ini mengumumkan perubahan pada iOS, Safari, dan App Store yang berdampak pada aplikasi pengembang di UE (Uni Eropa) guna mematuhi Undang-Undang Pasar Digital (Digital Markets Act/DMA). Perubahan ini mencakup lebih dari 600 API baru, analisis aplikasi yang lebih luas, fungsionalitas untuk mesin browser alternatif, dan opsi untuk memproses pembayaran aplikasi dan mendistribusikan aplikasi iOS. Di setiap perubahan, Apple menerapkan perlindungan baru yang mengurangi, tetapi tidak sepenuhnya menghilangkan, risiko baru yang dihadirkan DMA kepada pengguna di Uni Eropa. Dengan langkah-langkah ini, Apple akan terus berupaya menghadirkan pengalaman sebaik dan seaman mungkin bagi pengguna di Uni Eropa.

Opsi baru untuk memproses pembayaran dan mengunduh aplikasi di iOS membuka celah baru untuk malware, penipuan dan scam, konten terlarang dan berbahaya, serta ancaman lainnya terhadap privasi dan keamanan. Itulah mengapa Apple memperkenalkan berbagai perlindungan seperti Notarisasi untuk aplikasi iOS, otorisasi untuk pengembang marketplace, dan pengungkapan pada pembayaran alternatif — untuk mengurangi risiko serta memberikan pengalaman sebaik dan seaman mungkin bagi pengguna di Uni Eropa. Meski berbagai perlindungan ini telah diterapkan, berbagai risiko tetap ada.

Pengembang dapat mempelajari perubahan ini di halaman Dukungan Pengembang Apple dan dapat menguji coba kemampuan baru mulai hari ini di iOS 17.4 versi beta. Berbagai kemampuan baru ini akan tersedia bagi pengguna di 27 negara Uni Eropa mulai Maret 2024.

“Perubahan yang kami umumkan hari ini sesuai dengan persyaratan Undang-Undang Pasar Digital di Uni Eropa, sekaligus membantu melindungi pengguna Uni Eropa dari meningkatnya ancaman privasi dan keamanan yang tak terhindarkan akibat peraturan ini. Prioritas kami tetap sama, yaitu menciptakan pengalaman sebaik dan seaman mungkin bagi para pengguna kami di Uni Eropa dan di seluruh dunia,” kata Phil Schiller, Apple Fellow. “Pengembang kini dapat mempelajari alat baru serta persyaratan yang tersedia untuk distribusi aplikasi alternatif dan pemrosesan pembayaran alternatif, kemampuan baru untuk mesin browser alternatif dan pembayaran nirsentuh, dan lainnya. Yang penting, pengembang dapat memilih untuk tetap menggunakan persyaratan bisnis yang sama dengan yang berlaku saat ini jika menginginkannya.”

Perubahan untuk aplikasi Uni Eropa mencerminkan penetapan Komisi Eropa atas iOS, Safari, dan App Store sebagai "layanan platform inti” di bawah Undang-Undang Pasar Digital. Pada bulan Maret, Apple akan membagikan sumber daya baru untuk membantu pengguna Uni Eropa memahami perubahan yang akan terjadi. Hal ini mencakup panduan untuk membantu pengguna Uni Eropa menyikapi kompleksitas akibat perubahan DMA, termasuk pengalaman pengguna yang kurang intuitif, dan praktik terbaik untuk menghadapi risiko baru yang terkait dengan pengunduhan aplikasi dan pembayaran di luar App Store.

Tersedia untuk aplikasi pengembang di seluruh dunia, Apple juga mengumumkan opsi baru untuk streaming game , beserta lebih dari 50 laporan mendatang di berbagai bidang seperti keterlibatan, perdagangan, penggunaan aplikasi, dan lainnya.

Di Uni Eropa, Apple membuat sejumlah perubahan pada iOS guna mematuhi DMA. Bagi pengembang, perubahan tersebut mencakup opsi baru untuk distribusi aplikasi. Perubahan mendatang pada iOS di Uni Eropa meliputi:

Seperti yang diumumkan oleh Komisi Eropa, Apple juga membagikan perubahan sesuai DMA yang berdampak pada pembayaran nirsentuh. Hal ini mencakup API baru yang memungkinkan pengembang untuk menggunakan teknologi NFC di aplikasi perbankan dan dompet mereka di seluruh Wilayah Ekonomi Eropa. Dan di Uni Eropa, Apple memperkenalkan kontrol baru yang memungkinkan pengguna untuk memilih aplikasi pembayaran nirsentuh pihak ketiga, atau marketplace aplikasi alternatif, sebagai default.

Tak dapat dipungkiri, opsi baru untuk aplikasi Uni Eropa dari para pengembang menciptakan risiko baru bagi pengguna Apple dan perangkat mereka. Apple tidak dapat menghilangkan risiko-risiko tersebut, tetapi dalam batasan DMA, Apple akan mengambil langkah-langkah untuk menguranginya. Perlindungan ini akan diberlakukan saat pengguna mengunduh iOS 17.4 atau lebih baru, mulai bulan Maret, dan mencakup:

Perlindungan seperti Notarisasi untuk aplikasi iOS, dan otorisasi untuk pengembang marketplace membantu mengurangi beberapa risiko privasi dan keamanan bagi pengguna iOS di Uni Eropa. Hal tersebut termasuk ancaman seperti malware atau kode berbahaya, dan risiko menginstal aplikasi yang tidak sesuai dengan fungsinya atau yang menyembunyikan identitas pengembang yang bertanggung jawab.

Namun, Apple tidak memiliki kemampuan untuk mengatasi risiko lain — termasuk aplikasi yang mengandung scam, penipuan, dan penyalahgunaan, atau yang mengekspos pengguna pada konten terlarang, tidak pantas, atau berbahaya. Selain itu, aplikasi yang menggunakan mesin browser alternatif, selain WebKit Apple, dapat berdampak negatif pada pengalaman pengguna, termasuk dampak pada performa sistem dan kekuatan baterai.

Dalam batasan DMA, Apple berkomitmen untuk melindungi privasi, keamanan, dan kualitas pengalaman pengguna iOS di Uni Eropa semaksimal mungkin. Misalnya, Transparansi Pelacakan Aplikasi akan tetap berfungsi pada aplikasi yang didistribusikan di luar App Store, meminta izin pengguna sebelum pengembang melacak data mereka di berbagai aplikasi atau situs web. Namun, persyaratan DMA menandakan bahwa fitur-fitur App Store, seperti Pembelian Keluarga Berbagi dan Minta Izin Membeli, tidak akan kompatibel dengan aplikasi yang diunduh di luar App Store.

Ketika perubahan ini mulai diberlakukan pada bulan Maret, Apple akan membagikan sumber daya terperinci yang menjelaskan opsi yang tersedia bagi pengguna, termasuk praktik terbaik untuk melindungi privasi dan keamanan mereka.

Sekarang, pengguna iOS sudah memiliki kemampuan untuk mengatur browser web pihak ketiga, selain Safari, sebagai browser default. Sebagai cerminan dari persyaratan DMA, Apple juga memperkenalkan layar pilihan baru yang akan muncul pertama kalinya pengguna membuka Safari di iOS 17.4 atau lebih baru. Layar tersebut akan meminta pengguna di Uni Eropa untuk memilih browser default dari sebuah daftar.

Perubahan ini merupakan bagian dari persyaratan DMA, dan artinya pengguna di Uni Eropa akan melihat daftar browser default sebelum mereka berkesempatan untuk memahami pilihan yang tersedia bagi mereka. Layar ini juga mengganggu pengalaman pengguna di Uni Eropa yang hendak membuka sebuah halaman web saat pertama kalinya membuka Safari.

Di App Store, Apple membagikan sejumlah perubahan untuk pengembang yang memiliki aplikasi di Uni Eropa, yang memengaruhi aplikasi di seluruh sistem operasi Apple, termasuk iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, dan tvOS. Perubahan ini juga mencakup pengungkapan baru yang memberitahukan pengguna di Uni Eropa mengenai risiko terkait penggunaan metode pembayaran lain selain pemrosesan pembayaran aman di App Store.

Perubahan ini juga mencakup langkah-langkah baru untuk melindungi dan memberi informasi kepada pengguna Uni Eropa, termasuk:

Untuk aplikasi yang menggunakan pemrosesan pembayaran alternatif, Apple tidak akan dapat mengeluarkan pengembalian dana, dan tidak dapat mendukung pelanggan yang mengalami masalah, scam, atau penipuan. Fitur-fitur App Store yang bermanfaat, seperti Laporkan Masalah, Keluarga Berbagi, dan Minta Izin Membeli, juga tidak akan dapat digunakan dalam transaksi-tarnsaksi ini. Pengguna mungkin harus membagikan informasi pembayaran mereka kepada pihak lain, sehingga menciptakan lebih banyak kesempatan bagi pihak-pihak yang tidak bertanggung jawab untuk mencuri informasi keuangan yang sensitif. Dan di App Store, riwayat pembelian dan manajemen langganan pengguna hanya akan mencerminkan transaksi yang dilakukan melalui sistem Pembelian Dalam Aplikasi App Store.

Hari ini, Apple juga membagikan persyaratan bisnis baru yang tersedia untuk aplikasi pengembang di Uni Eropa. Pengembang dapat memilih untuk mengikuti persyaratan bisnis baru ini, atau tetap menggunakan persyaratan Apple yang sudah ada. Agar dapat menggunakan kemampuan baru untuk distribusi alternatif atau pemrosesan pembayaran alternatif, pengembang harus mengikuti persyaratan bisnis baru untuk aplikasi Uni Eropa.

Persyaratan bisnis baru untuk aplikasi di Uni Eropa diperlukan guna mendukung persyaratan DMA untuk distribusi dan pemrosesan pembayaran alternatif. Hal ini mencakup struktur biaya yang mencerminkan berbagai cara Apple menciptakan nilai bagi bisnis para pengembang — termasuk distribusi dan penemuan di App Store, pemrosesan pembayaran yang aman di App Store, platform seluler Apple yang tepercaya dan aman, serta semua alat dan teknologi untuk membuat dan membagikan aplikasi inovatif kepada para pengguna di seluruh dunia.

Pengembang yang beroperasi di bawah salah satu dari kedua persyaratan bisnis tersebut dapat terus menggunakan pemrosesan pembayaran aman App Store dan membagikan aplikasi mereka di App Store di Uni Eropa. Dan kedua persyaratan bisnis ini mencerminkan upaya Apple sejak dahulu untuk menghadirkan peluang terbaik bagi semua pengembang dalam membuat ekosistem aplikasi ini.

Pengembang yang beroperasi di bawah persyaratan bisnis baru akan memiliki opsi untuk mendistribusikan aplikasi iOS mereka dari App Store dan/atau marketplace aplikasi alternatif. Pengembang ini juga dapat memilih untuk menggunakan pemroses pembayaran alternatif dalam aplikasi Uni Eropa mereka di App Store, di seluruh sistem operasi Apple.

Persyaratan bisnis baru untuk aplikasi iOS di Uni Eropa memiliki tiga elemen:

Untuk aplikasi di iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, dan tvOS di Uni Eropa, pengembang yang memproses pembayaran menggunakan PSP atau dengan menautkan ke situs web mereka akan mendapatkan diskon 3 persen dari komisi yang harus mereka bayarkan ke Apple.

Apple juga membagikan alat penghitung biaya dan laporan baru untuk membantu pengembang memperkirakan dampak potensial dari persyaratan bisnis baru terhadap bisnis aplikasi mereka. Pengembang dapat mempelajari lebih lanjut tentang perubahan untuk aplikasi Uni Eropa ini di halaman Dukungan Pengembang Apple baru dan dapat mulai menguji kemampuan ini sekarang di iOS 17.4 versi beta.

Hallo Espa48 ,

für dein iPad Mini mit iOS 12 findest du sicherlich gute Alternativen zu Safari. Dieser Browser sollte deinen Anforderungen entsprechen und ebenso reibungslos funktionieren.

• Ein Nutzer auf der englischsprachigen Apple Community-Seite erwähnte, dass der Opera Browser auf Geräten mit iOS 12 funktioniert, siehe Apple Discussions .
• Ein weiterer / deutscher Artikel, dass Opera Mini als eine schnelle und leichte Option für ältere iPads empfohlen wird, siehe DateiWiki ​.

Lass uns wissen, ob es funktioniert hat, oder ob Du noch weitere Fragen hast.

Liebe Grüße!

Hallo Espa48,

Um Safari deinem iPad zu aktualisieren,  aktualisiere iPadOS .

Wenn eine Website angibt, dass Safari veraltet ist, obwohl du bereits die neueste Version von macOS, iOS, iPadOS oder visionOS verwendest, könnte ein Problem mit der Website vorliegen. Wenn du dir sicher bist, dass du die Website nutzen möchtest, wende dich an den Eigentümer oder Entwickler der Website, um Informationen zur optimalen Nutzung der Website zu erhalten.

Viele Grüße und einen schönen Abend noch!

Dann wird es Zeit für einen neuen iPad Mini oder Du verzichtest auf den Internetzugang mit diesem

Apple Gerät.

Würde ich unterschreiben. Opera ist mMn eine wirklich gute Alternative, klein und schnell…
