You can view and copy passwords, add notes like security question reminders, and more with the encrypted account information stored on iPhone. iCloud Keychain securely keeps this information up to date across all your approved devices.

You can also view and copy a password for a website or app account, go to the website for an account, or remove an account from your iPhone and iCloud Keychain.

Here’s how to view your passwords and related information on iPhone.

  2. Tap an account, then tap the Password field.
  3. To copy the password to use elsewhere, tap Copy Password.
