While users can already use their iCloud account to store and sync passwords across their devices, it wasn’t easy to do so. Passwords were available from the Settings app on the Mac or iPhone.
At WWDC 2024 on Monday, Apple introduced the Passwords app. It will be available with the next major releases of iOS, macOS, and visionOS — that is, iOS 18, macOS Sequoia, and visionOS 2.
In addition to all the features the users can find in the Passwords menu today, there’s a new column on the left that lets them more easily navigate the password collection. For instance, they can view all the passwords or just Wi-Fi passwords (a new addition), passkeys, or codes that aren’t related to a website or service.
As a reminder, iCloud Passwords already support shared passwords, verification codes, and a note field for every password entry.
The new app will make it easier to get started and think about using iCloud Passwords to store sensitive information.
