How To Download Messages From Icloud On Iphone

These days, it seems like you need some kind of password or login information to visit practically every website. It is hard to keep track of all of those logins, not to mention recalling your credit card numbers and expiration dates when you are making purchases online at websites that don't have Apple Pay support. iCloud Keychain makes it possible for you to create and save all of your logins and passwords, as well as store your credit card details and personal information, like your home address and phone number, so you can quickly add them to fill-in forms without having to type the information out every time.

Consider a password manager, too

It is important to note that while iCloud Keychain is a fantastic program for storing your login and password information, you should always have a secondary way to back up your passwords in case something should go wrong. If you are unable to access your iCloud account, having a backup password manager will save you much time and suffering.

How to create a pseudo-random password using iCloud Keychain on iPhone and iPad

You should never use the same password for more than one website login. Unfortunately, that means you might have dozens (or in my case, hundreds) of passwords across all of your accounts.

  1. Launch Safari from your iPhone or iPad.
  2. Navigate to the website for which you want to create a login.
  3. Select the Password field of the account creation form.

    Launch Safari, navigate to a site, and fill in your information.

  5. When the pseudo-randomly generated password appears, tap Use Suggested Password.

    Tap on the suggested password and tap on use suggested password.

Note: Some sites block tools like iCloud Keychain for security or privacy reasons (for example, public terminals). If you don't see the ability to get a suggested password from iCloud Keychain, it's because the site is blocking the functionality. You'll have to think up a unique password without the help of iCloud Keychain.

  3. Tap AutoFill.
