Automatically fill in strong passwords on iPad

When you sign up for services on websites and in apps, you can let iPad create strong passwords for many of your accounts.

iPad stores the passwords in iCloud Keychain and fills them in for you automatically, so you don’t have to memorize them.

Note: Instead of creating an account and password, use Sign in with Apple when a participating app or website invites you to set up an account. Sign in with Apple uses the Apple ID you already have, and it limits the information shared about you.

Create a strong password for a new account

On the new account screen for the website or app, enter a new account name.
For supported websites and apps, iPad suggests a unique, complex password.
Do one of the following:
- Choose the suggested password: Tap Use Strong Password.
- Make up your own password: Tap Choose My Own Password.
To later allow iPad to automatically fill in the password for you, tap Yes when you’re asked if you want to save the password.

Note: For iPad to create and store passwords, iCloud Keychain must be turned on. Go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Keychain.

Automatically fill in a saved password

On the sign-in screen for the website or app, tap the account name field.
Do one of the following:
- Tap the account suggested at the bottom of the screen or near the top of the keyboard.
- Tap , tap Other Passwords, then tap an account.
The password is filled in. To see the password, tap .

To enter an account or password that isn’t saved, tap on the sign-in screen.
