iOS 18 Password App compatibility with keychain on Ventura and Monterey.

I have several older Macs running Monterey and Ventura, and have used keychain for password management and syncing between Macs, iPhones and iPads for many years. Will the iOS 18 Password app be able to sync through iCloud with Macs running these older operating systems?

iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 17

I did a test and things look fine.

I created a new password on an iPhone using iOS 18. The website thus created showed in both Safari (Settings > Passwords) and Keychain Access, on both a Mac using macOS Monterey and a Mac using macOS Ventura. The username and password were correct on all devices.


Thanks very much for running the test! The results suggest that the iOS 18 Password App will sync with any version of macOS or iPadOS that can access iCloud Keychain. This is as it should be, but it's great to know it's actually the case prior to upgrading to iOS 18.
