Apple’s standalone Passwords app syncs between iOS, iPad, Mac and Windows

At WWDC 2024, Apple revealed a new passwords app that expands its existing iCloud Keychain capabilities and syncs your passwords across more devices. Now, with passwords, Apple is releasing a standalone app to manage passwords and passkeys on more devices, including Apple’s Vision Pro headset, as well as Macs, iPhones, and iPads. It also syncs with PCs via the iCloud for Windows app.

You can also view your Wi-Fi passwords in one place and share passwords in groups with people you want.

A big plus might be that it will integrate even more deeply with your Apple logins and family sharing settings than other options like 1Password or Bitwarden. And with Apple’s backing, it may seem like a safer option for people scared by security breaches suffered by others like LastPass.

For years, Apple users would have to get their passwords saved in the Safari preferences window and later in Mac System Preferences or iOS Settings. Now, with the Passwords app, everything is in one place, including verification codes and security alerts.
