My phone will not accept an airdrop password

We have a new iPhone with unique Apple ID. Trying to share passwords via airdrop. Getting message that the phone cannot accept passwords. Neither can the old iPhone. We have been able to airdrop photos. What are we missing?

Hi Barbzel,


Thanks for coming to Apple Support Communities for help today with sharing passwords via AirDrop.


There are some requirements that must be met including using iCloud Keychain and being in each other's Contacts. Please see: Share passwords securely with AirDrop on iPhone.


Have a fantastic day!
