How to sync passwords across Macbook and iPhone, not just in Safari browser but also in apps, Chrome browser, etc.? I just updated my password for a webite on my Macbook, using the suggested cryptic password provided by Apple, and then found I couldn't access it in keychain on my iPhone.. Checked keychain settings on both devices and they appear to be correct
iPhone X, iOS 14
Hi shift some,
We see you're trying to sync passwords for your devices. You can do this using iCloud Keychain. This article for how to Set up iCloud Keychain can get you setup.
Have a great day!
Hey shift some,
Safari can save passwords and sync those passwords through iCloud. With Chrome, you can Import bookmarks & settings and also add saved passwords. For further assistance with that, you would want to speak with Google Help.
Take care!
Hi Brian,
And if I am using an app, is it possible to sync passwords?
Let's say on my iPhone I have an app and use a Keychain-auto-generated password. If I then log in to this application via website on my Mac, is there a way for me to access the password?
Welcome back shiftsome,
Yes, you can see saved passwords on the Mac. You can use these steps to Manage passwords using keychains on Mac. You can also use this article to see How to find saved passwords on your Mac.
Take care!
Hi jdo_apple,
In the post I mentioned that I used iCloud Keychain on both devices but it doesn't appear to work.. I heard it is only for Safari..?
