Published in iPhone Security 1 min read

To manage your keychain on your iPhone, which primarily means syncing passwords and other secure information across your Apple devices using iCloud Keychain, follow these steps:

  1. Go to Settings: Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
  2. Access Your Apple ID: Tap on your name at the top of the Settings menu to access your Apple ID settings.
  3. Navigate to iCloud: Choose "iCloud" from the options presented.
  4. Find Passwords: Look for "Passwords" under the "Apps Using iCloud" section (or potentially "Saved to iCloud"). In older iOS versions (iOS 17 or earlier), you might see "Passwords & Keychain."
  5. Enable iCloud Passwords & Keychain: Tap "Sync this [Device]" and toggle on "iCloud Passwords & Keychain" (or simply toggle "Passwords & Keychain" in older versions). This will enable the syncing of your passwords and keychain data with iCloud.

In Summary:

Managing your keychain on iPhone primarily revolves around enabling and using iCloud Keychain for syncing passwords and other secure information across your Apple devices. This is accomplished via the Settings app under your Apple ID and iCloud settings.
