How to view your passwords and related information on iPad

You can view and copy passwords, add notes like security question reminders, and more with the encrypted account information stored on iPad. iCloud Keychain securely keeps this information up to date across all your approved devices.

Notes can hold things like recovery key information, security questions, or PIN numbers, and you can go to the website for an account. You can also remove an account from your iPad and iCloud Keychain, though that doesn’t remove it from the website or app.

View and copy a password for a website or app account

  1. For an account that uses a password, do one of the following:
    • Ask Siri something like, “Show me my passwords.” Learn how to use Siri.
    • Go to the Passwords app on your iPad.
    • On a sign-in screen, tap the Password AutoFill button.
  2. Tap an account, then tap the Password field.
  3. To copy the password to use elsewhere, tap Copy Password.

Add notes for an account with a password or passkey

  2. Tap All, then tap an account.
  3. Tap Edit, tap Notes, enter your text, and then tap the Save button.

Go to the website for an account

  1. Open the Passwords app on your iPad.

Remove an account from your iPad and iCloud Keychain
