iCloud Keychain is a protected place to keep the login details secure. On every iPhone and iPad, it is available. Whenever you log in any account email/username with password, it asks you to save the password into the Keychain. However, the keychain feature is not enabled from the beginning, and you need to connect your iCloud to your device first. Once you login the iCloud account in the device, your saved information will be transferred into the device. When your device asks you to save the password, it saves it into the keychain feature.
You can save multiple passwords into the Keychain of different sources. Keychain also allows you to edit the passwords if you have to change the password of any particular account. Saving a new account password into Keychain is nowhere tough and editing the password is also quite simple. To do this sort of task, you need to first open the keychain section and choose the account.
Keychain is used by every user of iPad, iPhone and Mac usually, because it is easy and handy. Your saved password and email is completely secure into the iCloud server. To fill any credential information, Keychain automatically inserts the information if already saved, and you just need to provide authentication. Now that it’s a default feature in iPad and iPhone devices, you don’t need to install any third-party services to manage the passwords. However, you need to keep the information updated as you make any changes with the password of the account. If you don’t keep it updated with the latest information, Keychain will not work properly.
How to Edit Password of Saved Account in Keychain
Keychain is connected to the iCloud, but you can manage this feature from settings. To edit the password of any account, here is what you need to do:
Launch “Settings.”
Slide down and choose the “Password & Accounts” option in settings.
Click on the “Website & App Passwords” option.
It will ask for authorization with Touch ID or Face ID to access the information.
Now you will have all the websites and their passwords on display.
Choose the account that you want to update with a password.
In the following section, you will see the login details, username and also password.
Click on the “Edit” option on the upper right side corner.
In the following password section, you can set the new password.
Now click on the “Done” option to confirm the updated changes.
This was the whole procedure of updating the password in Keychain.
Similarly, you can change more passwords of different accounts. Using Keychain is the easiest thing in the iPhone and iPad because, at the time of inserting username and password on any website, it automatically asks to use a saved password from Keychain. So you don’t have to open any other feature to insert the login details.
If you have been using Keychain for a long time, you might have realized that this feature is way more helpful and easy than it seems. Even if you use third-party software, it will not provide the same protection like Keychain or iCloud. So if you want to keep your personal credentials safe, Keychain is the best way on the iPhone and iPad. You can change the passwords anytime you want, and there is no limitation of doing it.
