In this episode, Thomas Domville shows you how to share passwords and passkeys with people you trust on iOS.
With password sharing in iOS 17, iPadOS 17, and macOS Sonoma, you can create a shared group and add your family and friends to it. Then you can choose which passwords and passkeys you want to share with them. The shared credentials will sync across all the devices in the group.
Step-by-step:
To create a shared group, go to Settings > Passwords and double-tap the Add button in the top-right corner. Double-tap "New Shared Group," name the group, and double-tap Add People. Type in the contact information of the people you want to add, then double-tap Add. Double-tap Create to continue.
You will then be prompted to select passwords you want to share with the group; double-tap the ones you want to share, then double-tap the Move button in the top-right corner. If you are not ready to share any passwords yet, double-tap "Not Now."
To edit a group, go to Settings > Passwords and double-tap the name of the group. Double-tap "Manage" to add or remove members, change the group name, or delete the group.
To accept or decline an invitation to a group, make sure your device has iOS 17 or later, iPadOS 17 or later, or macOS Sonoma or later. Go to Settings > Passwords > Group Invitations and double-tap the invitation. Double-tap Accept to join the group, or Decline to reject it.
