What is iCloud Keychain on Your iPhone?
iCloud Keychain saves your app and Safari passwords securely onto the iCloud straight from your iPhone. This makes logins easy for you, as the iPhone password manager retrieves and autofills them whenever they’re needed. For even greater convenience, the iCloud Keychain syncs login info between all your devices, so you don’t have to update passwords manually on your other Apple gadgets. iCloud is the key to all of this, so make sure you know what to do if you forgot your iCloud password.
How to Find Saved Passwords on Your iPhone Using Siri
You can use Siri to help you locate your whole password list, or to find one specific password.
- If you have Siri set up to listen for "Hey Siri" you can simply say “Hey Siri, show my passwords" to see a whole list.
- If you do not have "Hey Siri" set up, you can activate Siri with a long press of the side button or Home button.
- Siri can also show you the password for a specific app or website. Simply wake up Siri by pressing the appropriate button or by saying "Hey Siri," and then say something like “what's my Spotify password?”
