Thanks to iCloud Keychain, you can save browser username and password combinations.

Tools and Requirements

Step by step guide to using the safari password manager, final thoughts.

You probably already know about iCloud if you're using at least one Apple device. The cloud storage and synchronization service allows it to store and access content across multiple devices, including Mac, iPhone, iPad, and more.  These include files and information like documents, photos, music, video, and contacts.

Apple's iCloud service is also at the heart of the iCloud Keychain , where you can store website usernames/passwords, among other items. In this how-to, we're concentrating on how to add, edit, and delete Safari password content. Similar tools are available on other browsers like Microsoft Edge and Mozilla Firefox . 

  • You should also consider the best browsers and best secure browsers .  

Steps for saving, viewing and managing passwords

  • Before you can save any username/password combinations, you must first be sure to have an Apple ID or iCloud account.
  • From there, you can begin adding usernames and passwords for websites you frequent. 
  • You can also take advantage of Apple's new passkey feature. 
  • Safari is only available on Apple devices such as Mac, iPhone, and iPad. 

1. Go into the manager

To get started, you must first create an Apple ID . The username/password combinate is usable across all Apple devices to log into iCloud.com. You can proceed once you have an Apple ID and are logged into your device. 

On Mac, the Safari password manager is located by choosing Safari on the menu bar at the top left of your Mac. From there, click Settings from the pull-down menu. 

Next, click on the Passwords option at the top. Input your password as needed. 

2. Adjust existing password settings

You can adjust password information in the iCloud Keychain directly from Safari. To get started, go into the Passwords section of Mac Settings (see above) and log in as necessary. Then, use the search box on the left side of the display to find the password information you wish to change. Click Edit . 

You can change the username and password for a website and add notes when applicable. After making a change, click Save . 

Click Delete Password to delete the password information. 

Thanks to iCloud, any changes you make here will also be reflected in other Apple devices that use your Apple ID. 

4. Using Autofill in Safari

With AutoFill, you can fill in your previously saved usernames and website passwords. The tool is also a great way to add a new username/password combination for the first time and to create a strong password. 

You will see AutoFill pop up when a website asks you to create a password.

You will see an Autofill prompt In Safari when it's time to use or create a password. 

Click the AutoFill Key button, then choose Suggest New Password . For optimal security, you should use the suggested strong password. However, if you choose not to use the suggested password, you can easily select the password field, click “ Don’t Use ,” and enter your preferred password.

From there, enter the rest of the required information to create the website account.

Why use a separate password manager instead of a browser?

While most web browsers have their own password management feature, except for Safari which incorporates it into iCloud Keychain, in-browser password managers have limitations. They can only be used with one specific browser and cannot be accessed from other browsers. On the other hand, standalone password managers are compatible with any browser on your device, making them a more versatile option. Moreover, it is important to consider security when choosing a password manager. Browsers are not updated as frequently as standalone password managers, which can pose a security risk in case of a breach.

Does Safari have a built-in VPN?

Like many other browsers, Safari does not come with a pre-installed VPN. However, several reliable third-party VPNs like ExpressVPN, NordVPN, and SurfShark can easily be integrated with Safari. With a VPN, you can significantly boost the security and privacy of your online activities.

Are browser password managers safe?

To guarantee the safety of your passwords, using browser password managers like Safari with encryption is a great first step. However, there are additional measures you can take to further enhance your protection. It is highly recommended to create a strong and secure master password. The newest optional feature in Microsoft Edge mandates that you input your master password before making any changes to the password manager, thereby adding an extra layer of security. Regularly backing up your password manager is also a wise precaution in case of loss or theft. Another crucial step is creating a Firefox profile, allowing content synchronization across devices. This ensures that any changes made on your computer are reflected on your mobile device and vice versa.

What is iCloud Keychain?

iCloud Keychain is a highly reliable password manager that securely stores sensitive information such as passwords and credit card details in an online vault as part of Apple’s iCloud suite of services. Users can easily access their stored data by simply logging in to the same iCloud account on any Apple device. Thanks to the end-to-end encryption feature, user data is protected and can only be accessed by the user, even in the unlikely event of an iCloud account breach. Furthermore, the two-factor authentication feature provides an extra layer of security to user accounts, ensuring that they remain safe and secure at all times.

What are Apple Passkeys?

Apple Passkeys hope to eliminate the need for passwords eventually. This authentication method adheres to industry standards and guarantees improved security features while streamlining the login experience.

Passkeys create a unique cryptographic key pair for every website or application you use. The website or app stores the public key while the private one remains on your device. When you log in, your device produces a cryptographic signature using the private key. The website or application can then authenticate your identity by verifying this signature. With Passkeys, you can rest assured that your online security is in good hands.

Like passwords, passkeys are kept in Apple's iCloud Keychain. 

The built-in Safari password manager, part of the iCloud Keychain, makes tracking website usernames and passwords easier. Better still, those items carry over to other Apple devices, including iPhone and iPad. In the coming years, Apple hopes to eliminate the need for passwords and replace them with more secure passkeys. However, username and password combinations remain the most popular choice for website authentication.

How to delete saved passwords on your Mac computer, either one-by-one or all at once

  • You can delete saved passwords on a Mac by opening the Keychain Access app.
  • Any password that's used to access an application on your Mac can be saved to Keychain Access, which is a password manager built into the computer.
  • You may want to delete a saved password if you no longer use the account or don't want to have that password on file.
  • Visit Business Insider's Tech Reference library for more stories .

When you enter a password into Safari, and your Mac offers to save it, it'll be saving it to an app called Keychain Access. This is useful if you don't want to remember every password you have.

But Keychain Access isn't all automatic — if you don't want to save a password anymore, you can delete it at any time.

Here's how to delete a password from your Mac .

Check out the products mentioned in this article:

Apple macbook pro (from $1,299.00 at apple), how to delete saved passwords on a mac.

Before anything, note that after you delete a password, it can't be recovered — to save it again, you'll need to log in with it the same way you did when you first saved it.

1. Open Keychain Access. You can find it in your Launchpad, or by searching for it .

2. In the pop-up window that appears, you'll find all of your saved passwords. You can click the categories in the left panel to filter the results by password type and other criteria.

If you can't find a password here, it means that it's either not saved, or you saved it to another password manager — like in Google Chrome .

3. When you find the password you want to delete, right-click on it. Select the "Delete" option.

4.  You can also select multiple items by holding down the Command key as you click, and then right-clicking to delete them all. Use the Command + A function to select all of your passwords at once.

5. Additionally, you can delete specific details of a saved password. Double-click on a password to open a smaller pop-up for the site you'd like to change.

6. Click the empty check box next to "Show password." This will prompt you to enter your general computer password as an extra security measure.

7. You can now view your password. Delete it or change it to something else by clicking in the box. You won't be able to click "Save Changes" until a change has been made. You also can't leave the box empty.

8. Finally, you can delete a particular application associated with the password. Click the second tab at the top to go to "Access Control."

9. Highlight the application you want to delete and click the minus (-) sign. This will remove it. 

Some passwords may have multiple websites associated with them, such as university logins that feature multiple pages. If the password is only associated with one site, removing the site essentially deletes the password from your Keychain as well.

iOS tip: How to manage (or delete) saved passwords in Safari

by ben patterson | Feb 22, 2017 | how-tos , phones , tablets

iOS tip: How to manage (or delete) your saved passwords in Safari

Update [10/2017]: This tip was edited to account for changes in iOS 11.

It’s easy to tap “Yes” whenever Safari for iPhone or iPad asks whether you’d like to save a web password you just entered. But what happens to all those saved passwords in Safari for iOS, and how do you edit or delete them?

The answer: just dig into your iOS settings, where you can view a list of all your previously saved web passwords.

How to delete saved passwords in Safari for iOS

Once you get to your list of saved passwords in Safari for iOS, you can view, edit or delete them.

Once you’re there, you can edit or delete saved passwords in Safari, and—if you’re really worried about security—you can even ask Safari to stop bothering you about saving any more web passwords.

To see your big list of web passwords, tap Settings, Accounts & Passwords, App & Website Passwords; you’ll then need to enter your passcode or confirm your identity with Touch ID.

Go ahead and tap any entry to view your saved username or password for a given site; you can also tap the Edit button in the top corner to make any changes.

How to stop Safari for iOS from asking to save web passwords

Toggle off the Names and Passwords setting to stop Safari from asking you to save any more web passwords.

Want to delete saved passwords in Safari? Return to the App & Website Passwords screen, tap the Edit button in the top-right corner, select any password entries you’d like to zap, then tap Delete. (Nope, there’s no Delete All button, unfortunately.)

Last but not least, you can set Safari to stop asking whether you’d like to save a web password. Go back to the main Settings screen, Safari, AutoFill, then toggle off the Names and Passwords setting.

How to selectively remove stored passwords in Safari for Mac

delete all saved passwords safari

Safari for Mac is arguably one of the best browsers, not to mention the native option. With options like iCloud tabs across OS X and iOS, it makes it an excellent choice across platforms. Safari, like most other browsers, gives you the option to save passwords so you don't have to enter them each and every time. If there are passwords you've either accidentally saved or no longer want Safari remembering, you can selectively delete them instead of clearing all passwords.

Here's how:

  • Launch Safari on your Mac.
  • In the top menu, click on Safari and then Preferences .
  • In the top navigation of the Preferences menu, click on Passwords .
  • From here you'll see a list of all the passwords you currently have stored in Safari. Just choose the one you'd like to delete. To select multiple items, just hold down Command on your keyboard.
  • Now towards the bottom, just click Remove to remove the selected passwords.

That's it, Safari will no longer remember those passwords any longer. As a side tip, this is also a good place to view passwords you may have forgotten. You'll have to enter your admin password in order to view all items in your keychain, but Safari will physically show passwords if you ever have the need for it to.

How to Remove Saved Passwords From iPhone

During an online-only WWDC event, Apple released the next generation of iOS update – iOS 14. When the company summarized iOS 14 features in a final slide, one change caught everyone’s attention. Users can finally change the default browser and mail app on the iPhone. I have been looking forward to this feature for ages as it allows me to use the Chrome browser as default on the iPhone. If you are in the same boat as me, you should export and remove the old data such as history, bookmarks, and saved Safari’s passwords on the iPhone.

Remove saved passwords from iphone

It’s also an advisable routine to remove irrelevant saved passwords from the iPhone. iPhone, by default, uses iCloud Keychain to store all the login info that you add from the Safari browser or apps on iPhone and Mac. Suppose you are opting for another browser such as Chrome or Firefox on iPhone. In that case, you should use their native password management solutions such as Chrome Password manager and Firefox Lockwise for a smooth auto-fill experience on all connected devices.

You should also delete saved passwords from iPhone if you are planning to move from iCloud Keychain to an advanced third-party password manager such as 1Password, Enpass, or SafeInCloud .

In this post, we will talk about how to remove saved passwords from the iPhone. You can also perform the trick using the MacBook. Let’s get started.

Remove Saved Passwords From iPhone

As I mentioned earlier, all your saved login info gets saved in iCloud Keychain for a seamless autofill experience on all Apple devices. Follow the steps below to remove saved passwords from the iPhone.

Step 1: Open the Settings app on the iPhone.

Step 2: Scroll down to the Passwords menu.

Step 3: Authenticate yourself using the password or Face ID.

Step 4: Use the search bar to find the item you are looking for at the top.

Ios passwords

Step 5: Tap on the website name and select Delete Password from the following menu.

You can also long-press on the website name, and it will open the pop-up menu to offer the delete option.

The process can be tiring at times, especially when you have saved hundreds of passwords on the iPhone. You can tap on the Edit button at the upper right corner and select multiple login entries to delete and tap on the Delete button above.

Delete Saved Passwords From Safari Browser on Mac

Apple syncs all the data from iPhone to Mac using the iCloud platform. You can view, manage, and delete those saved passwords from Mac as well. I prefer this trick as it lets me remove all irrelevant password in one click. Follow the steps along to remove saved passwords using Safari on Mac.

Step 1: Open the Safari browser on Mac.

Step 2: Tap on the Safari title in the menu and go to Preferences. Alternatively, you can use Command + , keyboard shortcut.

System preferences

Step 3: Go to the Password menu. Apple will ask you to authenticate yourself. Use Touch ID or the Mac password to authenticate and access the menu.

Secure password

Step 4: Here, you will see the list of saved login info for various websites. Select the website that you no longer use or need.

Step 5: Select the Remove button and confirm your decision.

Remove password

If you want to remove all the saved passwords, use the Command + A keyboard shortcut to select all entries and tap Remove at the bottom.

Store Saved Passwords Somewhere Else

Before you delete saved passwords from the iPhone, you should move the login data to somewhere else. The App Store is filled with third-party password managers with a long list of features and cross-platform availability. Some of the popular names include Dashlane, 1Password, LastPass, Enpass, and SafeInCloud.

Delete saved passwords mac

Coming to my personal preference, I recently made a switch from iCloud Keychain to 1Password. While the manual setup on 1Password hasn’t been hassle-free, the move allowed me to access, edit, and add passwords from all the platforms such as iOS, Windows, and Mac. I can also use my preferred web browser with a 1Password extension to autofill confidential information.

Third-party password management apps offer additional functions such as multiple vaults, vault sharing, password audit, custom password generator, Time-based One-Time Password (TOTP), easy access via native apps, wearable support, theme options, and more.

Set Third-Party Password Manager as Default on iPhone

Starting with the iOS 12 update, Apple opened doors for third-party password managers on iPhone. Users can select the preferred password management app as the default way to autofill login info on websites and apps. Go through the steps below to change the default password manager on iPhone.

Step 2: Navigate to Passwords > AutoFill Passwords menu.

Ios passwords

Step 3: Ensure that the AutoFill Passwords menu is enabled and select the preferred password manager from the menu below.

From now on, whenever you try to log in on any app or website, iOS will ask to autofill login info from the selected password manager.

Manage Passwords Like a Pro on iPhone

When I switched from Mac to Windows, I found iCloud Keychain to be restrictive in many ways. I made a jump to 1Password and deleted the irrelevant passwords from iPhone. Why do you want to delete saved passwords on the iPhone? Are you making a switch to a different platform or moving to another password manager on the iPhone? Share your reasons in the comments section below.

How to view a saved password in safari on iphone and ipad.

If you've forgotten a website password but have saved it before using Safari on your iPhone or iPad, you can easily retrieve it. Here's how.

It can be frustrating when you need to log into a site on a different device or browser but you’ve lost the password. Luckily, if you've previously stored that password using Safari on iPhone or iPad , you can easily retrieve it. Here’s how.

First, launch "Settings," which can usually be found on the first page of your Home screen or on your Dock.

Scroll down the list of Settings options until you see "Passwords & Accounts." Tap it.

In the "Passwords & Accounts" section, tap "Website & App Passwords."

After you pass authentication (using Touch ID, Face ID, or your passcode), you will see a list of saved account information organized alphabetically by website name. Scroll through or use the search bar until you find the entry with the password you need. Tap it.

On the next screen, you will see account info in detail, including the username and the password.

If possible, memorize the password quickly and try to avoid writing it down on paper. If you often have trouble managing passwords, it's better to use a password manager instead .

Not having to remember your username and password when signing into apps is one less thing to worry about in your busy life. However, saving all your authentication details in one place could also be a bad idea. Cybercriminals would have a field day if they managed to access them, among other possible scenarios.

Luckily, Apple gives you the option to save or not save them. Clearing your saved passwords from your devices not only keeps your details safer, but you also get to exercise your memory a bit more when recalling them, which isn’t a bad thing.

How do you help yourself remember your passwords? Let us know in the comments section.
