With the official iOS 18 update coming in September, which is currently available in a beta version, Apple is making a new application available to manage passwords and all digital keys with complete security and privacy. Here are all the details about this application and its usefulness.
Apple introduces a new password management application in iOS 18
In all previous versions of iOS, Apple provided a password manager as part of the Settings app. That was with iCloud Keychain, where you can automatically generate passwords and save them within the app's settings.
But with solutions IOS 18It's completely different. As passwords moved from the Settings app to an app dedicated to them. All of this is to protect the privacy of the Apple device user. Experts point out that Apple's decision to create an independent application for managing passwords is its intention to compete with similar applications that provide this service, such as 1Password or Bitwarden.
If you are using the password features that Apple was offering in iOS 17; There isn't much or anything to get excited about. But let's give Apple its due; The password application has received a wide range of improvements, organization and ease of access than it was before.
The new application organizes new passwords and all the user's digital keys. In addition, the application offers an organized user interface with a navigation column that allows you, as a user, to quickly move between different categories.
Design of a new password manager application
When you open the Passwords app you'll see a design that looks a bit like the Reminders app. You will also see a group of categories:
- All or All.
- Passkeys.
- Codes – Verification Codes.
- Wi-Fi.
- Security - Security.
- Deleted.
You will also find a section for family passwords, and the option to create a new shared set of passwords, from the bottom left of the screen.
It is worth noting that Apple is offering a new password management application as a gift to users who are concerned about their passwords. Recently, concerns have spread among users about data breaches and online security. But Apple came up with the magical and ideal solution, providing a powerful, integrated, and completely reliable service.
Add for your information that you can create strong and unique passwords directly from within the application. Or import passwords from external services. All this with all the advantages of the “iCloud Keychain” service.
Apply passwords to all Apple devices
Having an app that collects all your passwords is undoubtedly very important. Every program or website needs its own password. This is what Apple realized the importance of, and worked to facilitate. We have provided an application that brings all of this together for you. The application will be available:
- iPhone in iOS 18.
- iPad running iPadOS 18.
- Mac with macOS Sequoia.
- Augmented reality devices with visionOS 2.
In addition, users can access passwords saved on their Windows computer through the iCloud app for Windows.

I don't feel any difference in the application compared to what is currently available
Hello Saeed Al-Qadani 🙋♂️
You may not feel a big difference in the new application, but there are certainly improvements and radical changes that Apple has made in iOS 18. The new application for managing passwords provides a better user experience, and is easier to navigate between different categories, in addition to providing greater privacy for users of Apple devices. 📱🔐🍏
A program from Apple = security (really) and without courtesy... but until this moment the 1-password program will remain for me personally one of the best programs. Thank you.
Hello Hani Al-Nadi 🙋♂️, thank you for your kind comment! 🌟 Indeed, 1Password is a great program and has proven itself over time. However, it seems that Apple is seeking to provide strong competition with the new password management application in iOS 18. We hope that it will live up to the expectations and security we aspire to. Always at your service! 🍏😉
The problem with the current password keychain is that it does not suggest strong passwords, only a combination of letters and numbers only, and no option for symbols such as?,$,@, as the Kaspersky Password Manager application does. I literally wish Apple would make its password application a fierce competitor to third-party applications via Adding new features that are not available in any other program🔥
Hello Muhammad Fadl, thank you for your valuable comment 😊. Apple always strives to provide the best services to its users, and will certainly take your feedback into consideration. Follow us to get the latest news from the world of Apple! 🍏📱🔥
In some sites, passwords suggested from the keychain are not accepted. The second thing is that you cannot use this feature for basic accounts, for example, Gmail and iCloud, because if you want to open the account on a device other than the iPhone, it is very difficult, especially if you do not have it. How do you remember the password?
Hello Ali Hussein Al-Marfadi 🙋♂️, kind regards. As for the problem with the suggested passwords, this is due to the site itself and not to Apple's password management application. As for using the feature for basic accounts such as Gmail or iCloud, this is one of the things that we should save in another safe place in addition to the password management application. So, when you change the device, you will be able to recover your account easily. 😊👍
Very excellent news and a wonderful feature. Thank you, may God grant you success
I would also like to add the feature of photographing the person who tries to enter the device password several times or even if the device is unlocked and tries to open the passwords application or tries to log in to any protected service or application and the images are stored in Apple's passwords application
Hi Islam 😊, Thanks for your suggestion which is a great security feature! But so far, this feature does not exist in Apple's new password manager app. We will provide you with any updates on this matter in the future. 🍎🔐
Saving passwords in the Settings app or an Apple-designed app feels safer than storing them in another app, but there are still few concerns about iCloud cloud being hacked.
Hi Islam 🙋♂️, I feel you completely understand. But don't worry, Apple is known for maintaining user privacy and data security. As for iCloud, it uses encryption to protect your data. Always remember, the strongest security is to have multiple passwords and make them strong and unguessable. 🍏🔐
I swear this is a problem 👿
This feature has been present on Samsung for a long time through its Samsung Pass application. Apple these days seems to use Copy/Paste haha.
Thanks in general
Hello Dr. Dries! 😊 In fact, Samsung Pass was a great service and there is no denying that. However, what is new in the Apple application is that it comes with many updates and improvements to manage passwords and digital keys in safer and more private ways. I think it's worth a try! 😉🍏
Guys, you all know that the iPhone 15 battery requires 1000 cycles
But after this talk, when I click on “about the battery”, they then say that Apple has designed the original battery so that it maintains 80% when it reaches 1000 cycles after this talk.
There is something else that I don't understand what they mean
Apple says the dynamic hardware and software systems involved help combat performance artifacts that may occur as the battery ages. know more…
Anyone who knows can help me guys
Hello world of iOS and technology! 🙋♂️ Apple means by systems hardware and dynamic software that the hardware and software are designed to deal with changes that may occur in battery performance over time. This helps maintain the best possible performance of your device even if battery power starts to wane. Don't worry, Apple always takes your comfort into account! 😊📱🔋
Similar to Samsung Pass
Please, I want to know how to delete a group of names together from the Contacts application???
Hello Amr Yousry 🙋♂️, to delete a group of contacts on iPhone, unfortunately there is no direct option in the original application. However, you can use third-party apps like “Groups” or “Delete Contacts+” to achieve this task. Follow the following steps:
1. Download and install the application from the App Store.
2. Open the app and allow it to access your contacts.
3. Select the contacts you want to delete.
4. Click on the “Delete” or “Remove” option.
5. A confirmation message will appear, click “Yes” or “Confirm”.
🔥📱💡
Always don't forget to take a backup of your contacts before deleting anything!
Thank you. If there is a feature to transfer the password from other programs to your account on the iPhone, it would be excellent. Currently, I use last pass. If it could be copied to an apple, it would be safer and better.
Hello Abdullah 🙋♂️, passwords can actually be transferred from external applications to Apple’s new password management application, as it allows you to do this feature with ease and security. 👍🔒
that's good news,
A long-awaited feature
