To see saved passwords on iPhone, open Settings > Passwords, unlock with Face ID, Touch ID, or your passcode, then tap the account whose password you want to view. On iOS 18 and later Apple also offers a dedicated Passwords app that does the same thing from your Home Screen. Here is exactly how to find, reveal, and manage your logins.
Open your saved passwords
There are two doors to the same place:
- Open the Settings app.
- Scroll down and tap Passwords.
- Authenticate with Face ID, Touch ID, or your passcode when prompted.
Or, if you are on iOS 18 or newer, just open the Passwords app directly and unlock it the same way. Both routes land on an alphabetical list of every account your iPhone has saved.
Reveal a specific password
Once you are in:
- Use the search bar at the top, or scroll, to find the website or app you need.
- Tap its name to open the entry.
- You will see the user name and password. Tap the password to copy it, or press and hold to reveal it in full.
If Face ID does not recognize you — say you are wearing sunglasses — iPhone simply asks for your passcode instead, so you are never locked out of your own logins.
Each entry can hold more than one saved password if you have several accounts on the same site, and it shows the exact web address it applies to. That detail matters: it helps you spot lookalike phishing sites, because iPhone will only offer to autofill a password on the genuine domain it was saved for.
What else lives in the Passwords app
Apple’s Passwords is more than a list of website logins. In one place it also keeps:
- Passkeys — the newer, phishing-resistant sign-in method that can replace passwords entirely.
- Wi-Fi passwords for networks you have joined.
- Verification codes for accounts using two-factor authentication.
- Security recommendations that flag reused, weak, or leaked passwords so you can fix them.
If you are curious about how passkeys differ from ordinary passwords, our explainer on what passkeys are and what they replace breaks it down in plain English.
Ask Siri to show your passwords
For a faster route, you can simply ask. Activate Siri and say “Show my passwords,” or get specific with something like “What is my Netflix password?” Siri still requires you to authenticate, so this is a shortcut, not a security hole. It is handy when your hands are busy or you are reading a password aloud to set up a new device.
Editing, deleting, and adding passwords
From any entry you can tap Edit to change a stored user name or password — useful right after you update a login on a website. You can also delete entries you no longer need, and add new ones manually with the + button. Keeping this list tidy pays off, because iPhone offers to autofill these credentials whenever you sign in on Safari or in apps.
The app also flags problems for you. Look for a Security section that highlights passwords that are weak, reused across multiple sites, or known to have appeared in a data breach. Tapping one of these warnings walks you through changing the password, often with a one-tap link to the site’s password page. Working through that list occasionally is one of the highest-value few minutes you can spend on your digital safety.
Sharing a password safely
Sometimes you genuinely need to give a household member a login — a streaming service, say. Rather than texting it in plain text, the Passwords app lets you create a Shared Group with people in your contacts. Passwords you place in the group stay in sync for everyone in it and update automatically if you change them later. It is far safer than sending credentials over a chat that could be seen by anyone who picks up the phone.
When a password isn’t there
Do not panic if a login is missing. Apple’s Passwords app only holds what was saved to it. If you use Chrome on your iPhone, those logins live in Google Password Manager. If you use a third-party manager such as 1Password, Bitwarden, Dashlane, or Keeper, check inside that app. Many people unknowingly split their passwords across two or three places, so if something is not in Apple’s list, it is almost certainly in one of the others.
A quick word on safety
Because this list is so powerful, protect the device itself. Use a strong passcode, keep Face ID or Touch ID enabled, and never hand an unlocked phone to someone you do not trust. If your iPhone storage is getting tight and you are cleaning things up, remember that clearing space does not touch your saved passwords — see how to free up space on iPhone for that. Your credentials stay safely encrypted and synced through iCloud Keychain regardless.
