Apple made a point of saying that it has spent 25 years working on securing passwords for users, but still users of its new Passwords app may be surprised at the result. For Passwords does not open without any passwords, it instead has everything ever saved via Safari — which can be hundreds of login passwords.
It also contains Wi-Fi login passwords, which can go back years to old and long-forgotten routers. The new Passwords app also automatically includes any Passkeys.
So right from the first launch of the app, Passwords users may have a large collection of existing passwords. What they won’t have, of course, is any that are exclusively saved in third-party password managers such as 1Password or LastPass.
