The new Passwords app consolidates various types of credentials, including passwords, passkeys, and Wi-Fi passwords, into a single, easily accessible location. Users can filter and sort their accounts based on criteria such as recently created accounts, credential type, or membership in shared groups.
Shared Groups: One of the standout features is the ability to create and manage Shared Groups. This allows users to share passwords, passkeys, and Sign in with Apple credentials with family, friends, or colleagues.
Passkeys: The app supports passkeys, which are more secure than traditional passwords. Passkeys use a cryptographic key pair, with the private key stored securely on the device, protecting accounts from phishing attempts.
