Since iOS 17, iPadOS 17 and macOS Sonoma, you can use family passwords. This is part of Keychain and ensures that you can easily share passwords and Passkeys with other Apple users.
Contrary to the name, you can also share these passwords with people who are not members of Family Sharing. We explain how to easily move passwords to shared password group on iPhone, iPad or Mac.
Create password group
You can easily create a new shared group for passwords and Passkeys. To do this, open Settings ▸ Passwords on your iPhone or iPad or ▸ System Settings ▸ Passwords on your Mac. Then tap or click the plus button and choose ‘New shared group’.
Then you can change the group name and add members. Choose ‘Create’ and select the desired login details to move them to the shared password group.
Move passwords to group
Do you want to add a password to a shared group? Then you can do this in two ways. Open the shared group in the Password settings and tap or click the plus button. Then choose ‘Move passwords to group’ and select the desired login details.
You can also put your finger on a password in the overview on your iPhone or iPad. Or click with a secondary click (right mouse button) on the password in the overview on a Mac. Then select ‘Add to group’ and choose a desired part.
Manage family passwords
Open (System) Settings ▸ Passwords on your iPhone, iPad or Mac. Select the shared password group and choose ‘Manage’. Then you can change the group name or members.
