Apple announced a new Passwords app for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Windows. Let’s have a look at how the Passwords app works on the iOS 18 developer beta, which is now available to download.
Apple is readying a new Passwords app for iOS 18 that finds its roots in the 25-year-old Keychain software. The app will act as a one-stop shop for all your user credentials, verifications, and security alerts. However, it was already a known secret that the password management app was in the making before it was showcased with the iOS 18 update during WWDC 2024.
iPhone’s upcoming software update will arrive with several features, including a dark mode of Home Screen apps, Apple Intelligence service, flashlight improvements, Game Mode, T9 dialer, and new wallpapers.
The Passwords app will launch on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and the $3,499 Vision Pro headset later this year and will be available for Windows through the iCloud for Windows app. However, if you’re interested, you can try the new app by installing the latest developer betas on supported iPhones, iPads, and Mac models.
Let’s see how the Passwords app looks and feels on the iOS 18 Developer Beta (you will get a similar user experience on iPadOS 18 but on a bigger screen).
Note: If you plan to install the iOS 18 Developer Beta on your device, it’s recommended that you back up all your data and proceed with caution. Pre-release versions of Apple software may contain bugs and unexpected problems that can harm your data or affect the normal working of your device.
On the surface, the Passwords app does many things that are already possible on iOS 17 through the Passwords page in Settings.
