Most of the time, when we frequently access a computer from a computer that we have account with user and password, we choose to store these data in the browser. It is a convenient and quick way to authenticate to a vivid visit.
Apple did an excellent job and introduced the option of save user and password on iOS devices, both in websites and in applications. When we want to authenticate from the iPhone or iPad in an application or in a website, an icon with a key will appear above the virtual keyboard through which the user can access the accounts saved with the user and password in iOS.
Where are the accounts (user and password) saved on the iPhone or iPad
Apple allows users to save usernames and related passwords both in applications and for websites visited in Safari. These passwords are saved encrypted in safe conditions, being available to iPhone and iPad users at each login session. Usernames and passwords are saved in the account iCloud / Apple ID being available on all devices Apple on which the same account is authenticated. More precisely, if you have an iPhone and an iPad on which you have logged into the same account Apple, the passwords on the iPhone will also be available on the iPad. This synchronization is also available for Mac users. Since we are talking about devices from the same ecosystem, the synchronization between iOS and macOS works perfectly. Thus the accounts saved on Mac in Safari will also be available on iPhone or iPad.
Where can we find the username and passwords saved on the iPhone or iPad
1. We open “Settings”→“Accounts & Passwords"→ click on the option"App & Website Passwords”Where we will have to authenticate with Touch ID or password device.
2. After authentication with Touch ID or device password, the list of all the accounts stored on the iPhone will be displayed. By clicking on one of them, you will have access to your username and password.
Authentication data can be edited from this list or deleted, if desired. Note that deleting an account from this list will be done on all devices synced with the same account. iCloud.
