The average person now has somewhere between 70 and 80 passwords to remember. That’s a big number. Rather than recording everything in a notebook or — much worse — using the same password for every account, it’s easier and safer to save passwords on your iPhone. Thanks to the AutoFill feature, you can have your iPhone save passwords and enter them whenever you log in to one of your accounts.
In this article, we’ll show you how to turn on AutoFill for Safari, as well as go over how to use Apple Keychain on your iPhone and other Apple devices. Both processes should make saving passwords on an iPhone very straightforward.
To save passwords on your iPhone, you simply need to turn on AutoFill. Here’s how to do it:
Step 2: Go to Passwords & Accounts.
Step 3: Tap AutoFill so that the slider is switched into the green "on" position.
You now have AutoFill working on your iPhone. You can use it whenever logging in to an account or creating a new one.
When creating a new account, it will automatically enter a strong password for you.
Step 1: You can tap Use Strong Password to use that password.
Step 2: You can also tap Choose My Own Password instead. Even when choosing your own password, you can still change your mind and tap Suggested Password at the top of the keyboard, which will enter an automatically generated password.
Regardless of whether you choose a suggested password or your own, AutoFill will remember your saved usernames and passwords and will quickly enter them for you when logging in to an account.
You don’t need to use Keychain to save passwords on your iPhone. However, if you want to save passwords to your iCloud account and use them across your Apple devices, then you have to use Keychain. Here’s how to activate it on your iPhone.
Step 1: Go to Settings > Apple ID > iCloud.
Step 2: Once in your iCloud settings, scroll down and tap Keychain.
Step 3: Lastly, tap iCloud Keychain so that the slider moves into the green "on" position. You can follow the same process to activate Keychain on an iPad.
Step 4: Next, if you want to be able to use your saved passwords on your Mac, you have to do the following:
Step 5: Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Apple ID > iCloud. Note that for MacOS Mojave or earlier, you’ll select iCloud immediately after System Preferences.
Step 6: Click Keychain so that the green check mark appears next to it.
You’ll now be able to enter iPhone passwords into your Mac and vice versa.
AutoFill offers the easiest way to save passwords on an iPhone. However, you may be interested in investigating one of the many third-party password manager apps available for iOS. These include Dashlane, 1Password, and Bitwarden — which also save your passwords on your iPhone — enabling you to quickly enter them when logging in to one of your accounts. Some may require a monthly subscription, and they are a little more complicated than AutoFill, but they are generally very good at what they do.
Are you tired of paying for streaming services you never watch just to get a phone plan feature you actually want? T-Mobile has good news for you! The carrier is rolling out new plans, called T-Mix, in early November to replace its old Experience lineup with a build-your-own perks system called Picks.
The benefits you choose vary from streaming and gaming to food delivery, AI, satellite service, and phone discounts. But if you are satisfied with your existing plan, you can keep it.
Merely days after the iPhone Duo hit the shelves, images of broken screens on the phone started popping up across social media. Until now, it’s been unclear what’s causing the line of defective pixels that appears vertically along the crease, as well as horizontally, on the phone’s inner display.
Apple has finally acknowledged the issue, which has shown up on iPhone Duo units owned by customers as well as demo units in stores. In a statement shared with Bloomberg, Apple says that not all iPhone Duo units are affected and that those that are tend to show the display fault early on. The company added that users who experience problems with their iPhone Duo display should contact AppleCare for a replacement.
Not long ago, Apple treated independent repair like an act of outright hostility. The Cupertino giant locked down parts with serial-number pairing, while repair tools remained firmly out of reach of anyone outside its authorized repair network. More importantly, the company waged a legal and lobbying battle against right-to-repair legislation.
I've covered enough of these fights over the years to know what a shift looks like. That's why what happened in October 2026 genuinely caught me off guard. The day the iPhone Duo went on sale, what may be the most mechanically complex iPhone to date, Apple pulled off a surprising about-face. It published teardown-style repair manuals for a handful of major components.
