Thanks you Ellen for this clip most helpful, IOS 18 can confusing & overwhelming, I' ll have to rewatch a few more times but this makes it way easier 😊 magalo
How to you point your phone camera at the we code when you are using the phone to set it up? I don’t have other Apple devices that I can use. iPhone is it. Thx
How does the new Passwords app work with multiple devices with different operating systems? I have a new phone with OS 18 but an older iMax that has uses the older Keychain.
You would have to copy and paste the passwords with different operating systems. I’m not sure what happens when you have passwords in Keychain and passwords in the new Passwords app. Sorry 😞
Hi Ellen, Have just discovered your videos & really appreciate them. I have a question similar to the one asked about Dashlane. I currently use Last Pass password manager. Can I export those passwords to the Password App? If so, how? Thanks for your help.
@ i didn't even press autofill, should the apps be connected to icloud for the passwords to appear in the app? I keep my infos in notes that's why, I'm not sure if this is necessary. Still I need your opinion in this please
If you want your passwords to sync across your devices they need iCloud turned on. The passwords app is very secure. Much more so than a notebook. If you want the app to autofill your passwords then it should be turned on. Hope that helps.
For some reason the website icons aren’t showing next to my passwords. The website field is filled in along with everything else. I’m running the latest version of iOS and have tried restarting my phone and the app
Hi Ellen, thank you for great information. I use the Dashlane app to save my passwords, is there any way to transfer all those passwords to the new Passwords App in IOS18 or would I have to do each website individually. Also am I better off cancelling Dashlane and using passwords IOS18 to save the monthly fee. Thank you.
Good morning Ellen, After the Passwords APP changes a password for a website, do you also have to change it manually on the website itself ?. Thanks in advance, your videos are great !👍👍👍
- If you have 6 or more 2FA set up in one of the 2FA apps like Authy, Google, or Microsoft, how do you move, whatever it is you move, from there to Passwords? or do you at all? Confused. - Also, moving forward, what would the process be to set up 2FA with Passwords when you encounter a new one you want to use (not all logins use 2FA but allow you to add or eventually require it)? Somehow, incredibly, I did this with one account. With the US government!
What happens when you forget to update your little black as most people do?? Plus if anyone gets access to your black book they have everything. So not real security.
Thanks, great explanation. it's very useful.
You're very welcome Carlos! Glad you found it useful.

Glad you found it helpful Magalo! It can be overwhelming.
Hi Ellen, great information as always, I need to do a lot of work with my reused Passwords. Thanks again…
Thanks! It is a really good feature! Good luck Joe!

Take a look at this support guide from Apple. Hope it helps! support.apple.com/guide/iphone/automatically-fill-in-verification-codes-ipha6173c19f/ios
Thank you for explaining the password app. Can you share with android user?😊
They have to be an iOS user. Sorry 😞

Good question! See if this article will help!

Thanks so much for watching.
How would this work for a person who regularly uses an iPhone while away from home and a non-IOS desktop at home?
It would work great on the iPhone but you would need to access the passwords on your iPhone and input them into your computer at home.
Ellen is it okay to delete the Passwords app?
Tha Passwords app can be deleted. Just not sure why you would want to??
@ i didn't even press autofill, should the apps be connected to icloud for the passwords to appear in the app? I keep my infos in notes that's why, I'm not sure if this is necessary. Still I need your opinion in this please

It may just be that the website doesn’t use icons. I have many passwords that don’t have icons next to them.

Yes you should be able to export your passwords from Dashlane then import them into the iOS Passwords app. Good luck.
Thank you
Good morning Ellen, After the Passwords APP changes a password for a website, do you also have to change it manually on the website itself ?. Thanks in advance, your videos are great !👍👍👍
You’re welcome!
No it should be changed if you did it at the website and saved to the passwords app.
Is there a way of seeing each password saved, just in case e.g. you move from apple?
Sorry I should have shown that. Yes just tap into the password field and you will see the Password written out.
Thank you Ellen, that’s much appreciated
You’re welcome!
Good video! Can you please “passkeys”? What are they, who uses them, and why? Thanks.
Here’s a video I did on Passkeys Robert! Hope it helps.

@@EllensTipsForiOS The video was great! Thank you!!
You’re welcome Robert!
HinEllen..did I miss how to reject the suggested password ?
Yes you did Marion. The only way to reject the password is to start over. Hopefully Apple will change that in an update.

Good question…. I would stick with the app you’re using. Because it just makes more sense. It’s already set up. Hope that helps.
I’m outdated. I still use my real memory and a little hidden real black book. Outdated but unhackable. But I guess that’s real security.
What happens when you forget to update your little black as most people do?? Plus if anyone gets access to your black book they have everything. So not real security.
Not being to regenerate a password if you aren't happy with the one that was generated is one of my biggest gripes with the app.
Couldn’t agree more!
I don’t think Netflix would appreciate people sharing passwords.
Well if you live in the same household and have multiple TV’s it should be just fine Ray. Netflix already has guards up to prevent it.
Isn't this dangerous, all passwords could be Hacked?
Not dangerous at all. More secure than keeping your passwords in a Notebook.
