How do I find saved passwords on an iPhone?
Answer
On recent iPhone software, saved passwords are in Settings > Passwords, unlocked with Face ID, Touch ID, or your device passcode. If Passwords is missing, update iOS or check whether passwords were saved in iCloud Keychain, Safari, or a third-party password app.
Before you start: stop right away if…
- Stop if a site or popup asks you to pay to unlock passwords or install unknown software.
Follow these steps
Open Passwords in Settings
Open Settings and tap Passwords. Unlock with Face ID, Touch ID, or your iPhone passcode.
You should see: You see a searchable list of saved passwords and passkeys.
Search for the account
Use the search field at the top and type the website or app name. Tap the entry to view the username and password when needed.
You should see: The saved login appears, or you confirm it is not stored on this iPhone.
Turn on iCloud Keychain if the list is empty
Go to Settings, tap your name, then iCloud, then Passwords and Keychain or the equivalent Keychain setting, and turn on iCloud Keychain. Wait a moment, then reopen Settings > Passwords.
You should see: Synced Apple passwords appear if they were saved under this Apple ID on another device.
Check Safari Autofill and other apps
If Passwords still seems missing, update iOS, then check Settings > Safari > AutoFill. Also open any third-party password manager you use, because those logins will not appear in Apple Passwords.
You should see: You know whether passwords are stored by Apple Passwords or another app.

Extra tips
What to look for: A Passwords item in Settings, or Safari Autofill settings that point to saved passwords and passkeys.
Before you change anything: Know your iPhone passcode so you can unlock Passwords. Confirm which Apple ID is signed in if you expected iCloud-synced passwords. Do not install unknown “password finder” apps from links in texts or ads. Never read passwords aloud to unexpected callers.
