How to autofill passwords, email addresses and more on iPhone

By D. Griffin Jones • 6:00 am, March 8, 2024

• Top stories

AutoFill on iPhone is supposed to help you out when you’re entering a password or typing in your email. When it doesn’t work, it can be incredibly frustrating — especially if you don’t know some complicated password offhand. The phone’s supposed to remember it so you don’t have to!

Now, in iOS 17, AutoFill has been put on steroids. The new AutoFill is much more expansive than the old, and unlike previous versions, works anywhere you can input text, including third-party browsers. To autofill passwords, credit cards, contacts and more, you no longer have to dig through Settings > Passwords or through the Contacts app to pull out the information.

You can even autofill scanned text from documents, signs and more using the camera. Here’s how it’s done.

How to autofill passwords on iPhone

In Safari, tap on a text box. There should be an option to autofill a saved password in a toolbar above the keyboard. You can tap on a username (and authenticate with Face ID) to fill it in, or you can tap the  Passwords key icon to pick a different one.

If no such menu or option shows up, you may be frustrated, but there’s another option. Tap on the text field again and you should see a pop-up menu. Tap  AutoFill > Passwords and authenticate with Face ID to bring up saved passwords. Scroll through the list or search.

If you want to look through and edit or clean up your saved passwords, you can always find them inside  Settings > Passwords .

If you want easier access, you can make it its own standalone icon your Home Screen . Download this Shortcut , tap the ⋯ button to edit it, hit the Share button and tap Add to Home Screen .

How to autofill email addresses and phone numbers on iPhone

You can just as easily autofill your phone number, email address, home or work address and more (or that of another contact).

Tap on a text field and tap again to bring up the pop-up menu. Hit AutoFill > Contact . Pick a contact and tap on a field to autofill.

This works anywhere you can enter text, not just in email and phone number fields in Safari.

Need to send someone a friend’s phone number? You don’t need to switch from Messages to Contacts, dig through, copy it and paste it back. Directly inside Messages, tap to bring up the pop-up menu and tap AutoFill > Contact .

Need to send someone the Netflix password? Tap  AutoFill > Passwords . It can save you a lot of hassle.

AutoFill scanned text using the camera

There’s one more trick up the AutoFill menu’s sleeve. Say you need to Google a really long serial number, or you need to type in your car’s VIN on an insurance website.

Any time you need to type something exact that isn’t easily human-readable, tap the text box and hit AutoFill > Scan Text . The keyboard will be replaced with a small camera — just point it at the text you want to scan, hold it steady and tap  Insert .

You can also tap the  Live Text button in the bottom-right. In this mode, you can drag your finger along the scanned text to choose precisely what to enter in.

Tap on the text field to bring the keyboard back up to make precise edits.

How to manage passwords on iPhone and iPad with Safari AutoFill

Gotten used to creating and saving passwords with the built-in Safari AutoFill feature on iPhone and iPad, but aren’t sure where they are stored? Or maybe just want to get the feature turned on? Read along for how to manage passwords on iPhone and iPad.

It’s become more and more seamless to use saved passwords in Safari to log in to websites and apps without having to manually type in your credentials on iPhone and iPad. However, sometimes you might need to view your passwords, or you might want to edit or remove old credentials.

We’ll also look at how to turn on Safari AutoFill Passwords on iPhone and iPad if you aren’t using the feature.

How to save and manage passwords on iPhone and iPad

Turn on safari autofill passwords on iphone and ipad.

Safari AutoFill Passwords is the feature that can automatically save and update your passwords on iPhone and iPad as well as offer to create automatic strong passwords when signing up for new accounts online.

It’s also end-to-end encrypted with iCloud Keychain.

• On your iPhone or iPad, open the Settings app
• Swipe down and choose Passwords
• Tap AutoFill Passwords at the top
• If you have a third-party password manager installed you may see the option to allow filling from multiple sources (e.g. 1Password, etc.) along with Apple’s iCloud Keychain
• Now when you log in to accounts, websites, etc. your iPhone will ask if you’d like to AutoFill, save/update or auto create a new password
• Also consider using Sign in with Apple or Sign in with Google/Facebook/Twitter etc. when creating new accounts as it means you don’t have to create another unique login and is a more secure way to manage your credentials

Keep in mind you’ll need to use the Safari app (Apple’s default browser on iPhone) to take advantage of this feature.

Also, if you’d like to save your passwords from iPhone to your other Apple devices, make sure to head to the Settings app > Your name > iCloud > Keychain > toggle on iCloud Keychain.

We’ve also got a walkthrough on using 2FA AutoFill in iOS:

• Here’s how to use the native iPhone 2FA code generator and autofill

How to view and edit saved passwords

The easiest way to update passwords is to head to the website or app and type in the new password. Safari AutoFill Passwords will ask if you’d like to update it.

Alternatively, here’s how to view and edit all your saved passwords manually:

• Open the  Settings app
• Swipe down and tap on Passwords
• Tap  Edit in the top right corner to delete multiple logins or swipe from right to left to delete individual items.
• Choose Edit  in the top right corner to manually change your stored user name or password

If you see a caution icon next to a saved item (triangle with exclamation mark), that indicates you’re using the same password for multiple accounts or your password may have been compromised in a data breach.

It’s important to change your passwords for any reused or compromised passwords. Apple even includes a Change Password on Website button when you’re looking at saved passwords to easily take care of them.

How to use AutoFill Passwords in iOS

Your email has been sent

Starting in iOS 12, Apple began allowing third-party password managers the ability to integrate directly with the operating system to offer up passwords to autofill for users in Safari and supported third-party apps. This feature allows you to integrate with a single third-party password manager, or multiple password managers, or a combination. This is great for users who use one password manager for work and a different one for personal use, for example.

The majority of password managers that support iOS will implement the Apple Password API, which is a built-in iOS API that Apple provides to ensure a streamlined process when auto-filling passwords throughout the system in Safari and third-party apps. When apps use this feature, you can enable the autofill feature by following these steps.

• Open the Settings app.
• Navigate to Passwords | AutoFill Passwords.
• Select the password app or apps used on your device ( Figure A ).

This view allows you to select a single password manager of your choosing (or iCloud Keychain) or any combination of password managers. Select however many password managers you use (e.g., if you use Microsoft Authenticator for work, you can use iCloud Keychain or 1Password to store your personal accounts, or vice versa).

When you enable this feature and navigate to a website in Safari or a third-party app that supports auto filling passwords, you will get passwords surfaced from the password manager(s) that you selected ( Figure B ).

Some iOS password managers also include their own Safari web browser extension (this became a feature in iOS 15 ) to allow saving and autofilling passwords within Safari. 1Password is an example of an app that implements not only the traditional Apple Password API, but also a custom Safari web browser extension that can run and evaluate its own autofill rules on web pages and detect when new passwords are needed and offer them up to save when creating new accounts.

Troubleshooting, how to edit autofill info on iphone & ipad.

Need to change the autofill information that’s used in Safari to quickly log in, fill in address data, and make payments? Editing autofill info is easy to do on an iPhone and iPad.

There are different kinds of autofill information that are stored by Safari. These include contact information like your address and phone number, payment details like credit card info, and even the login and password data that’s stored in Keychain. All combined, this makes it easy for you to quickly fill out web forms as you make purchases or log on to websites from the Safari web browser. However, this autofill data could get outdated over time if you move, change passwords, or get new credit cards. You’ll want to keep this information updated to make sure you can keep using it. So, let’s find out how you can modify autofill data, right on iPhone or iPad.

How to Edit & Update AutoFill Address, Credit Cards, etc on iPhone & iPad

Editing the autofill information is a pretty simple and straightforward procedure from iOS or iPadOS, follow along:

That will take care of autofill address info, contact details, and credit card info, but if you want to edit autofill logins and passwords that’s done differently and we’ll cover that next.

How to Edit AutoFill Passwords on iPhone and iPad

Unlike contact details and credit card information, the password data that’s used by Safari AutoFill is stored elsewhere, within Keychain. Therefore, the steps to edit saved passwords will vary.

There you go, you can modify any login data saved on your device using this approach.

From now on, whenever you make any changes to your online account login details, contact information and address details, or get a new credit card, make sure you edit the information that’s used by AutoFill in order to keep using it while you’re browsing the web.

This obviously applies to iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch, but if you own a Mac you’ll be able to take advantage of Safari AutoFill on your macOS machine as well.

You can choose to sync the stored credit card information across all your other macOS, iOS, and iPadOS devices with the help of iCloud Keychain. Using iCloud Keychain for AutoFill is incredibly useful for owners of multiple devices and is definitely a nice perk of the cloud service. For this to work however, you need to be signed in to all the devices using the same Apple ID and make sure Keychain is enabled in the iCloud settings, on any of your devices.

What do you think of autofill? Were you able to successfully edit and modify your autofill information as needed? Don’t forget to browse through additional Autofill articles while you’re at it.

How to Use AutoFill on Your iPhone (Step-by-Step)

If you’re tired of repeatedly filling out forms in Safari on your iPhone, then you need to know how to use the Password AutoFill feature on Safari.

AutoFill on iOS , iPadOS, and macOS is a useful feature that lets users automatically enter personal information such as contact information, usernames, passwords, and credit card information for websites and supported apps.

iPhone AutoFill is the equivalent of Google Autofill for iPhone users. In this guide, you’ll learn how to use AutoFill on iPhone – from enabling the feature to update the information that you’ve saved.

Enable AutoFill on iPhone

We’d assume you’ve already added your contact information to your iPhone. You can use your contact as is or you can update the information if need be.

If you don’t already have one, go ahead and add a contact for yourself in your address book. It only takes a few minutes to set up.

• Find the “Contacts” app on your iPhone.
• Then, tap the “+” sign in the upper right corner of the screen. It will bring up a screen where you can fill out your personal information.
• Feel free to include all the info that you think is necessary.
• Once you enter all this data, tap “Done” .

Now you can enable AutoFill to use your contact info. Follow the steps below for step-by-step instructions.

• Scroll down and tap Safari .
• Select Autofill .
• Turn the slider next to Use Contact Info to the ON position (it’s ON when it’s green).
• Tap  My Info .
• Select your contact from the list.

Now your iPhone will use the information from AutoFill to fill out forms in Safari.

How to Use Password AutoFill on iPhone

To enable AutoFill passwords on your iPhone, follow the steps below:

• Go to Settings .
• Tap Passwords & Accounts .
• Select AutoFill Passwords .
• Then toggle  AutoFill Passwords  to   On.

While you’re in Settings, let’s activate iCloud Keychain .

• Tap your Apple ID name at the top of the screen.
• Select iCloud .
• Tap Keychain .
• Then, turn on the iCloud Keychain toggle switch.

Now you can use your saved passwords with AutoFill in Safari and apps. You can also use a third-party password manager to keep the password and credit card information when you select a login for AutoFill.

Add AutoFill Credit Cards on iPhone

To add credit cards to Safari’s AutoFill on iPhone:

• Open the Settings app.
• Swipe down and tap on  Safari .
• Tap on  AutoFill  and then  Saved Credit Cards .
• Select  Add Credit Card .
• Use the camera or type in to enter your credit card details.

When you’re checking out online in Safari or supported apps, your credit card information will appear above the keyboard.

You must authenticate yourself with your passcode, Touch ID, or Face ID before your iPhone can fill in the details.

To delete or update a saved debit or credit card, follow these steps:

• Go to the Settings app.
• Select Safari .
• Under the General section tap AutoFill .
• Select Saved Credit Cards .
• Authenticate yourself, tap the Edit button at the top right corner.
• Select the credit card you want to delete. You could also swipe to the left on the card, then hit the Delete button.

The password autofill feature on iPhone and iPad makes life easier, as you don’t need to fill in your credentials repeatedly while logging in to a website or an app. It’s one of the many dividends you enjoy on your Apple device. However, sometimes AutoFill Passwords stop working on your iPhone or iPad.

Having faced the issue a couple of times, I know what might be causing it. If you are in the same boat, keep reading to find out the best solution.

• Ensure AutoFill Password is enabled
• Allow iCloud Keychain to fill passwords
• Check iCloud keychain status
• Exit private browsing
• Add login credentials for a specific website to AutoFill
• Enable Safari AutoFill for contact info and credit cards
• Turn off/on AutoFill
• Restart your iPhone or iPad
• Update your device’s OS

1. Ensure AutoFill Password is enabled

A common cause of AutoFill Password failure on iPhone is that you might’ve either accidentally turned it off or failed to activate it at all. Moreover, the latter might be the case if you’re a new iPhone user.

Thus, turning this feature on ensures that iOS registers all your credentials per website or app locally on your iPhone. It does this using the iCloud Keychain, which also helps secure credentials.

To activate Password AutoFill on your iPhone or iPad:

• Open Settings .
• Go to Passwords .
• Tap AutoFill Passwords .

If it’s already enabled, move on to the next fixes. There might be more salient issues that need attention.

2. Allow iCloud Keychain to fill passwords

If enabled on your iPhone, Apple stores all your passwords, usernames, and payment information on your device using iCloud Keychain. Moreover, the stored credentials sync across all your Apple devices. Hence, you don’t need to fill in passwords repeatedly while logging in.

However, iCloud Keychain needs to be enabled on your device for AutoFill to work. So one of the potential reasons your AutoFill has stopped working is that this feature might be disabled. Take a look at our guide to  enable iCloud Keychain on iPhone or iPad .

3. Check iCloud keychain status

On rare occasions, it might be the iCloud Keychain server that’s preventing AutoFill from working. This might be regional or more widespread. You can check the iCloud Keychain server status by going to the  Apple Support System Status  page.

A service with a green dot to its left shows that it’s currently available. Look for iCloud Keychain on the list and check if it’s available or not.

Unfortunately, there’s nothing you can do at your end to fix this other than wait for Apple to resolve the issue. Nonetheless, this is uncommon. And if it occurs at all, it doesn’t take long before it comes to life.

4. Exit private browsing

Private browsing hides your browsing activities from other services. So even if the autofill feature works on your iPhone, trying to log into a website in incognito mode on Safari prevents iCloud Keychain from passing the authentication credentials.

Bear in mind that Password AutoFill will work for other apps at this point but won’t work on the browser. So, exit private browsing while signing in to a website. Here’s a handy guide for disabling private browsing on Safari .

5. Add login credentials for a specific website to AutoFill

Besides enabling AutoFill Password, some websites might need extra attention to autofill passwords and usernames during login. Hence, it is best to add them manually. This is especially helpful if you want to use other browsers besides Safari to log in to websites.

To do this, copy the URL of the said website and follow these instructions:

• Open Settings → Passwords .
• Tap the + icon at the top right.
• Enter the URL , username , and password of the website in the respective fields.

The next time you want to log in to any of the websites you’ve added, tap Passwords at the top of your iPhone’s keyboard. Then select the website from the options that pop up.

6. Enable Safari AutoFill for contact info and credit cards

If you want Safari to autofill contact and credit card information in addition to passwords and usernames, you’ll have to allow them in Settings. Besides, you might also want to check. Here’s how:

• Go to Settings .
• Scroll down and tap Safari .
• Select AutoFill .

Note : Ensure to add your credit card to Safari Password AutoFill previously. Otherwise, Safari won’t see your credit card while auto-filling payment information online . For more information, take a look at this guide on adding a credit card to Safari autofill .

7. Turn off/on AutoFill

So this is more like a try-and-error quick fix. But trust me, it works sometimes. The thing is: there may be some memory issues or lag in the function of the autofill feature on your iPhone or iPad. To resolve this, all you might have to do is:

• Go to Settings → Passwords → AutoFill Passwords .
• Toggle off AutoFill Passwords .
• Wait for a few seconds and toggle on AutoFill Passwords.

8. Restart your iPhone or iPad

If you’re still battling with AutoFill Password not working on your iPhone, merely restarting your device might do the trick. Now, how to do this varies, depending on your iPhone model. Here’s a guide on how to restart the various iPhone and iPad models .

9. Update your device’s OS

If AutoFill Password still doesn’t work on your iPhone, updating your iPhone or iPad OS might be all you need to do. An outdated iOS version deprives your iPhone of support for some recent features, which might include the iCloud Keychain and AutoFill.

Signing off!

Apple has won the heart of many by introducing more user-centric features. And one of these is the AutoFill password that helps you fill authentication whenever you want to sign in to an app or a website. I hope this guide helped fix the issue of AutoFill Password not working on your iPhone or iPad.

Apple’s getting ready to launch the iPhone and Mac app we’ve wanted for years

When Apple shows off iOS 18 and macOS 15 at WWDC next week , it intends to unveil a new app that could be a genuine game changer for iPhone, iPad and Mac users. It's a new stand-alone passwords app that'll replace the currently confusing and inconsistent approach with something much more streamlined and useful. Think 1Password or LastPass with the usual Apple style.

Apple's devices already handle password creation and storage, logins, saved cards and so on. But they do so in different ways on different devices, so for example on iOS your passwords are stored in the system Settings app but on the Mac they're in Safari. Having a more sensible, stand-alone app to cover everything for all of your apps in the same place on every Apple OS makes a lot of sense and could make your online life considerably easier. It'll also make a huge difference if you prefer to use  apps other than Apple's ones, such as alternative web browsers.

What to expect from Apple's Passwords app

According to Bloomberg, Apple intends to unveil Passwords on Monday. It's going to be based on the existing Keychain system, which is where your various passwords are already stored, but it will be much clearer and simpler to use. 

The app will store wwebsite and app logins, Wi-Fi network passwords and Passkeys, which enable you to use Touch ID or Face ID to log into websites without using a traditional password. The passwords app will send the appropriate details to your apps and to Safari whenever you need to log in.

According to the report the app will be available not just for iOS and macOS, but for Vision Pro too. It also says that Passwords will work with Windows PCs and that it will double as an authentication app, similar to Google Authenticator. However it's currently unclear as to whether the app will also store payment card details and other auto-fill information. Fingers crossed that it does.

In all honesty I'm more excited about this than I am about most of the rumoured AI features, because improved password handling would make a difference to my everyday life and solve some ongoing irritations.

Apple to launch a new Passwords app at WWDC 2024, states report

Aditya Tiwari Neowin @TheLazyAvenger · Jun 7, 2024 03:02 EDT with 10 comments

Apple is about to give a new home to the Passwords page which is buried in the Settings app on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. The company is expected to launch a new password management app at the WWDC 2024 event later this month, Bloomberg reports.

The app called "Passwords" will be powered by Apple's iCloud Keychain service, which is already used to sync passwords across Apple devices. It will find a home in future versions of Apple's operating systems: iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS 15. The report states the upcoming app will also support the $3,499 headset Vision Pro and Windows PCs as well.

Apple's Passwords app will display a list of user credentials divided into various categories such as accounts, Wi-Fi networks, Passkeys, and an "Apple-promoted password replacement that relies on Face ID and Touch ID." The app will auto-fill data from websites/apps and generate passwords to work like an authentication app such as Google Authenticator.

Several of these functionalities are already available through the Passwords section in the Settings app. Instead of going to the Settings app, users can also ask Siri to reveal the password for a specific website or app.

However, Apple wants to rival the likes of 1Password and LastPass, as per the report, and the Passwords app will let users import passwords from other services. There are no words on whether a version of the Passwords app will be available for Android.

Having said that, it remains to be seen how the Passwords app will fit among Apple's existing software around password management. Apple pushed a major update for its iCloud for Windows app earlier this year, which already supports iCloud Passwords and generates 2FA codes .

The keynote event of WWDC 2024 will start at 10 am PT on June 10, where Apple is expected to make several other announcements. For iOS 18, previous reports suggest iPhone's next operating system upgrade will bring AI-made custom emojis , AI transcription , and changes to Safari and Siri . Apple is also in talks with OpenAI to bring ChatGPT's AI features to the iPhone. It was also reported that the first set of AI features may run locally on the device.

Proton pass arrives on mac and linux.

Proton Pass now has apps on every major desktop and mobile platform.

Proton, the company behind Proton Mail and Proton VPN, released a password manager last year and has been steadily adding new features. Now, Proton Pass is arriving on more platforms.

Proton has released an official desktop application for Proton Pass on macOS and Linux, giving you easy access to your saved passwords from anywhere on your Linux PC or Mac. Proton Pass already had applications on Windows, Android, iPhone, and iPad, as well as a web app and browser extension.

Proton said in a press release, “These two new applications extend the reach of Proton's secure password management by offering a fully integrated experience within the macOS and Linux operating systems. With this announcement, Proton Pass is now available on every platform – a feat achieved only a year after first announcing the product.”

The macOS app is being released alongside a new Safari extension, which Proton says should simplify password management and auto-fill. There are also browser extensions available for Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, and other Chromium-based browsers. You can still access all your saved passwords from the extension or web app, if you want to do that—the desktop app just saves you from opening your web browser first.

Proton Pass has rolled out a few other helpful improvements over the past few months, including a built-in 2FA authenticator, secure password sharing , passkey support , and credit card support. It’s still missing a few features found in solutions like 1Password and Bitwarden , but it now has apps on all major platforms and covers all the basics. The free version is probably the best free password manager, though—Proton has been pushing that point hard as Dashlane prepares new limits on free accounts.

There are more features in development for the desktop apps, too. The company said, “Proton Pass will soon support TouchID on macOS, allowing users to unlock their accounts using their fingerprints. Similarly, an upcoming update for Linux will integrate the app with the system’s authentication mechanisms and APIs. This will enable users to unlock Proton Pass using their Linux user account, fingerprint sensors, or any other method supported by PAM, enhancing both security and convenience. These features will be provided as an automatic update in the coming weeks.”

You can get Proton Pass from the official website. There’s a free version, but unlocking all features requires a Proton Pass Plus plan, which is $23.88 per year (but the first year is $10 for a limited time). You can also get all the features through a Proton Unlimited plan, which also unlocks functionality in Proton Mail, Proton VPN, and other services.

Use tabs for webpages in Safari on Mac

When you’re surfing the web or researching a subject, avoid cluttering your desktop with multiple windows. You can instead view multiple webpages in a single Safari window by using tabs.

Open Safari for me

Preview a tab

Open a new tab.

To change the page that opens in new tabs, choose Safari > Preferences, click General, click the “New tabs open with” pop-up menu, then choose an option. See Change General preferences .

Open a page or PDF in a new tab

Command-click a link on a page or a Favorites icon.

Type in the Smart Search field , then Command-click an item in the search suggestions, or press Command-Return.

Tip: To use these Command-key shortcuts to open pages in new windows instead of new tabs, choose Safari > Preferences, click Tabs, then deselect “⌘-click opens a link in a new tab.” See Change Tabs preferences .

Open a page in a new tab from the bookmarks sidebar

Control-click a bookmark, then choose Open in New Tab from the shortcut menu.

Control-click a bookmarks folder, then choose Open in New Tabs.

Each bookmark in the folder opens in a new tab.

Open a tab in another window

You can also drag the tab of one Safari window to the tab bar of another.

Note: Tabs in private windows can only be moved to other private windows. Tabs in non-private windows can only be moved to other non-private windows.

Automatically open pages in tabs

Click the “Open pages in tabs instead of windows” pop-up menu, then choose an option:

Never: Links designed to open in new windows open in new windows.

Automatically: Links designed to open in new windows open in new tabs.

Always: All links designed to open in new windows open in new tabs, including links designed to open in specially formatted separate windows.

Reopen a recently closed tab

You can also reopen a closed tab or window.
