No - If a Different Apple ID

If you are using a different Apple ID, then you could add them manually, by viewing the passwords in keychain on your iPad or iPhone, and then add them.

Thank you for taking the time to respond to my question. I've never used Air Drop so that was cool to learn! :)

Unfortantely the response I received for the Air Drop: My "MacBook Pro cannot accept passwords." So guess that won't work for me. Lesson learned, Don't change your passwords unless you have too! Thank you for trying to assist me!


Thank you
