Apple Releases New Feature to Share Passwords on iPhone
Apple has released a new feature that allows users to share passwords with each other more securely. The feature, called “Password Sharing,” is available in the latest version of iOS and iPadOS.
To use Password Sharing, users first need to create a shared password. They can do this by opening the Settings app and going to “Passwords.” Then, they need to tap on the “+” button in the top-right corner of the screen and select “Create Shared Password.”
Once the shared password has been created, users can share it with others by sending them a link or a QR code. When the recipient opens the link or scans the QR code, they will be able to see the shared password.
Password Sharing is a secure way to share passwords because it uses iCloud Keychain to encrypt the passwords. This means that the passwords are not stored in plain text on the recipient’s device.
The new feature is a welcome addition to iOS and iPadOS. It makes it easier for users to share passwords with each other without having to worry about security.
