Ratings and Reviews

Editors’ notes.

Coming up with unique passwords has never been more important, but remembering them all can sometimes feel impossible. 1Password’s strength is in its simplicity: With a single master password you can secure dozens of website logins, credit card details, Wi-Fi passwords, and much more. It’s a snap to use and offers deep levels of customization that make it an indispensable tool for casual web surfers and power users alike.

A nice update

I’ve just installed and updated to 1Password 7. It’s a solid update with nice interface enhancements. I was thrilled to see the addition of the Watchtower function that alerts me to potentially compromised, outdated, and duplicate passwords — a real plus. Even better, 1Password’s Watchtower can also display which websites offer Two Factor Authentication, which I use wherever I can. Seeing where I can add this to other websites and accounts is very important. Kudos, guys! A feature request I had hoped would make this new update but didn’t was an expansion of categories under which you can organize my passwords, IDs, Serial Numbers, Notes, and other information. This is common in some competing applications, and a couple of competitors also allow users to create custom categories. While 1Password allows for a wide range of tags, something I also use quite a bit, expanding the variety of Categories would be a real help. I know that software developers can’t fit in every request on a major update, but I hope this will be a priority in the future. Still, 1Password is my favorite application of its kind. And believe me, I have tried many of them, often with disastrous results. Well done, guys.

Developer Response ,

Thank you so much for the review groupeone! Custom categories are currently being beta tested, so we are definitely thinking about it ;) Daniel, AgileBits

Loyal Customer

Every touch-point I've had with this product and the company has been a positive experience. I was first really sold on 1Password when they came out with Watchtower. That support for the Heartbleed problem was extremely well done and customer-focused. I'm a software engineer, (no affiliation) so understood the technical details of Heartbleed, and I thought 1Password's approach provided a great user-friendly experience to help non-technical folk protect themselves properly. Once, I felt the need to get on the forum in response to a change in how the product handled multiple vaults. The response from the company was immediate, thoughtful, and convincing. I've now recommended 1Password to multiple others over the years, including coworkers, friends and family. Have heard nothing but good feedback. My sister thanked me recently, saying "It changed my life." After years as a customer, I just had my first, and very helpful, exchange with the Support team, regarding upgrading from an individual to a family subscription. Addressed my concerns and worked back-and-forth with me to update my account in a very short time, all early on a Sunday morning! As I said at the beginning, every touch-point has been nothing but positive.

Thank you so much for this very positive review, Jay! Mathieu, 1Password

How to Get the Most Out of 1Password

By Thorin Klosowski

Everyone needs a password manager , but that doesn’t mean getting started with one isn’t intimidating. 1Password has long been one of our favorite password managers , but it can be a bit baffling to use at first. And even if you’ve been using it for years, as I have, you may have never bothered to find uses for all the other little features it offers, including secure notes and documents.

The research

How to set up 1password on your computer, browser, and phone, start browsing and fix your crummy passwords, memorize the quick access keyboard shortcut, make the most out of watchtower, use tags to organize (and get rid of the two-factor authentication warning), don’t forget about secure notes, memberships, documents, and software licenses, other extra features worth exploring.

Installing 1Password works differently than for most software, and its security features mean you have to take a couple more steps than usual. But once you’ve set it up, every password for every online account you have will be unique and nearly impossible to guess, making your online life more secure.

Step 1: Create a 1Password account with a strong master password

Before you do anything else, you need to create a 1Password account . 1Password isn’t free; it’s $36 a year, but it’s worth that investment if you can afford it. Some of the tips we’re including below are applicable to other password managers, such as Bitwarden , which is free, but in those cases you’ll have to poke around to find some of their different options.

When you create your account, take some time to create a good strong password. As 1Password’s name suggests, this is the only password you’ll need to remember from here on out. We have some tips for creating a strong password .

1Password gives you an Emergency Kit that includes a place to write down your password as well as your “secret key,” which you use to link your account to the 1Password applications (more on that below). Print this out and store it somewhere secure in your house, such as a fireproof safe . If you don’t have a printer, write down the secret key number and password and store that note in a secure place. As tempting as it may be to store the information online in a service like Dropbox or Google Drive, doing so would defeat the purpose of a secure emergency kit since your information is at risk if that service gets hacked.

Step 2: Install the desktop app and browser extensions on Windows or Mac

Unlike most password managers, 1Password has both a desktop application and browser extensions. You should install both.

• Download and install the Windows or Mac application.
• In your web browser, head to the 1Password website and log in to your account. Click Get the Apps and then the Add your account directly button. If prompted, select the 1Password app.
• Enter your master password. The desktop app is now set up and ready to use.
• Head back to the “Get the Apps” screen in your browser, and you’ll see a link to the browser extension for the browser you’re using (if you use Safari on Mac, you can skip this step ). Click the link to download and install the extension. If you use several browsers, including Chrome, Firefox, or Edge, you’ll need to repeat this process for each browser.

You now have access to 1Password both in your browser and through the desktop application.

Step 3: Install the mobile app and enable password form filling

Finally, it’s time to get 1Password running on your phone or tablet. To make the most of it, you need to take one more step beyond just installing the app.

• Download the Android or iPhone app.
• Log in to your account. Then, either use your phone’s camera to scan the QR code on the Emergency Kit or manually type in the secret key.
• Finally, enable autofill passwords so that your phone can pull up the password manager. On Android, open 1Password and then tap Settings > Autofill and enable it. On iPhone, you do this in the operating system’s Settings app. Tap Settings > Passwords & Accounts > Autofill Passwords, and on the 1Password entry, enable Allow filling from . You should also disable Keychain if it’s enabled. On iPad, consider enabling the Safari extension instead of Autofill for a more desktop-like experience.

From now on, when you need to log in to an account in a browser or app, you’ll see a password prompt pop up when you tap the login details.

Now that you’ve set up 1Password, you can start browsing. Each time you sign in to an account, take an extra couple of minutes to find the site’s “change password” page and use 1Password to make your password stronger.

As an example, here’s how this works for a Google account:

• Log in to your Google account using your current password.
• Head to the Google account page and select the Security tab.
• Click Password and enter your password again.
• On the new-password page, 1Password should pop up with a suggested password. Click on this, and it’ll populate and save the password. If the window doesn’t pop up, you can click the 1Password icon in the browser, click the + button, and select Password generator.

That’s it—now you have a strong, unique password that’s saved in 1Password so you don’t have to remember it. This process is tedious for the first week or so of using a password manager. But trust me, it’s worth the hassle. The process not only makes your online accounts much more secure but also saves time in the long run, as you won’t have to type out passwords as often. We suggest starting by strengthening the passwords on your most important accounts, including platform-specific accounts (such as Google, Apple, Facebook, and Microsoft), your email, every social media account you have, and bank accounts.

Some websites have specific password rules, like requiring “one number, one capital letter, and one symbol,” and for these you may have to tweak the password generator (1Password attempts to automatically understand these rules, but it doesn’t always work). Instead of using the autofill recommended when creating a new account, click the 1Password browser extension icon, then the “+” sign, and select Password Generator. Select the Random Password dropdown and you can change different factors to create a password that meets a site’s requirements.

With the release of 1Password 8, the company introduced a new keyboard shortcut to its desktop app that pulls up Quick Access, a floating panel that suggests login details no matter what window you have open, including web browsers and desktop apps (like Steam or the Mac App Store). Through this feature, 1Password can now fill passwords everywhere on your computer just as it does on your phone.

• On Windows, the default keyboard shortcut is Control + Shift + Space.
• On Mac, the default keyboard shortcut is Command + Shift + Space.

Filling passwords in desktop apps is useful enough on its own, but Quick Access can also function as a “launcher” of sorts, too. Press the keyboard shortcut, type the name of a website where you have a login, and you can then open it in a new tab and log right in.

Watchtower is 1Password’s password-auditing feature, and it’s worth keeping an eye on after you’ve gone through the meticulous process of strengthening all your passwords. You can find it in the sidebar of the 1Password desktop app.

Start by making sure you have no weak and reused passwords. If you didn’t change your passwords in the step above and instead added passwords for all your accounts, you may find some passwords listed here. If you do, change those passwords.

You’ll also get a Watchtower score, which is meant to help guide you toward improving passwords through various means . This includes a list of any accounts stored in 1Password that support two-factor authentication. As the name suggests, two-factor authentication sets up an online account so that logging in requires two forms of identification. In most cases, those two forms include your password and a separate code that’s generated either in an app like Authy , a physical security key , an email, or an SMS message. Take the time to set up two-factor authentication for any accounts 1Password lists in this window. We strongly recommend setting up two-factor authentication for your 1Password account as well.

Even if all your passwords are strong and unique, and you’ve enabled two-factor authentication everywhere you can, Watchtower serves yet another purpose: alerting you to compromised accounts. 1Password searches for known security breaches and on Have I Been Pwned , a service that checks for account details in data breaches. If any account details show up here, change your password.

Initially, I didn’t find the tagging system in 1Password useful, instead relying on its automatically generated tags and using the search to find what I needed. But over the years I’ve found that tags have helped my workflow in a few ways.

For example, I tag anything related to work accounts as “work” and any service I’m trying as “trial.” This setup makes it easy for me to go back and delete the passwords or accounts later.

I also tag anything that’s subscription-based with the credit card attached to that subscription. This way, when the card expires, I can easily see which services use that card so that I can update them.

Aside from passwords, I also use 1Password as a repository for any other personally identifiable information I’ve needed on the go. 1Password encrypts everything, which means it’s a much more secure place to store information than, say, a notes app or Dropbox. If you have a family plan, it’s also a great way to share certain details with family members.

I use 1Password for everything I may need to access remotely in an emergency and anything I’m not comfortable storing in cloud storage. This list includes:

• TSA PreCheck and airline miles numbers
• copies of important documents from a safe, including powers of attorney, insurance policies, and the like
• automobile information, such as the VIN and license plate numbers
• scans of passports or IDs
• passcodes for lockboxes or combination locks
• serial numbers for devices, music gear, bikes, and other equipment
• gift card numbers

I also use 1Password to store the handful of software licenses I have, plus server access details and any specific setup information I might have for apps, such as email login setup instructions. You can store any of these details in a shared vault.

Set up correctly, 1Password can be a repository of not just your passwords but your entire digital identity. With its shared vaults, it’s also a secure and simple way to share private documents with other members of your household.

1Password has a handful of niche features that are useful in certain situations, including online shopping, crossing international borders, or integration for Mac (and Apple Watch):

• Privacy.com integration : 1Password includes optional support for Privacy.com credit cards. Privacy cards are virtual credit cards you can generate for free, and are useful for recurring subscriptions that are potentially difficult to cancel, or when you’re ordering from a web store that feels sketchy. You can set up a virtual card so it’s one-time use or has a limited amount of cash on it, like a gift card. You need to make an account at Privacy first, then through Privacy, click Your name > Account and scroll down to the Integrations section to set up 1Password. Once you set up your Privacy account and integrate it with 1Password, you’ll find autofill options to generate cards any time you’re in a card number field of an online shopping cart.
• Biometric unlock with Windows Hello, Touch ID, or an Apple Watch: If you have a computer that has some sort of biometric login, such as Touch ID on a Mac or Windows Hello on a Windows computer, you can use that to log in to 1Password without typing in your password every time. In the Windows app, click 1Password > Settings, select Security, and click Allow Windows Hello to Unlock 1Password. In the Mac version, click 1Password > Preferences and select the Security tab; here you can choose Touch ID or Set up Apple Watch.
• Learn when to use Travel Mode : 1Password includes a Travel Mode that removes login information from your devices unless you mark them to do otherwise. This is useful if you’re facing a potential device inspection while traveling. Before you travel, log into your 1Password account from a web browser, click your name, then click My Profile . Click the Travel Mode toggle to enable it, and any accounts not marked as safe for travel will be removed temporarily from all your devices. When you’ve arrived safely at your destination, disable Travel Mode and your accounts will return to your devices.

You might not think to explore the settings and other options inside a password manager, but they can hide a number of new features or fix annoyances you might have, so it’s worth poking through them occasionally.

Safari Password Manager: How to save, view and manage passwords in Apple's browser

Thanks to iCloud Keychain, you can save browser username and password combinations.

• Quick steps

Tools and Requirements

Step by step guide to using the safari password manager, final thoughts.

You probably already know about iCloud if you're using at least one Apple device. The cloud storage and synchronization service allows it to store and access content across multiple devices, including Mac, iPhone, iPad, and more.  These include files and information like documents, photos, music, video, and contacts.

Apple's iCloud service is also at the heart of the iCloud Keychain , where you can store website usernames/passwords, among other items. In this how-to, we're concentrating on how to add, edit, and delete Safari password content. Similar tools are available on other browsers like Microsoft Edge and Mozilla Firefox . 

• You should also consider the best browsers and best secure browsers .  

Steps for saving, viewing and managing passwords

• Before you can save any username/password combinations, you must first be sure to have an Apple ID or iCloud account.
• From there, you can begin adding usernames and passwords for websites you frequent. 
• You can also take advantage of Apple's new passkey feature. 
• Safari is only available on Apple devices such as Mac, iPhone, and iPad. 

1. Go into the manager

To get started, you must first create an Apple ID . The username/password combinate is usable across all Apple devices to log into iCloud.com. You can proceed once you have an Apple ID and are logged into your device. 

On Mac, the Safari password manager is located by choosing Safari on the menu bar at the top left of your Mac. From there, click Settings from the pull-down menu. 

Next, click on the Passwords option at the top. Input your password as needed. 

2. Adjust existing password settings

You can adjust password information in the iCloud Keychain directly from Safari. To get started, go into the Passwords section of Mac Settings (see above) and log in as necessary. Then, use the search box on the left side of the display to find the password information you wish to change. Click Edit . 

You can change the username and password for a website and add notes when applicable. After making a change, click Save . 

Click Delete Password to delete the password information. 

Thanks to iCloud, any changes you make here will also be reflected in other Apple devices that use your Apple ID. 

4. Using Autofill in Safari

With AutoFill, you can fill in your previously saved usernames and website passwords. The tool is also a great way to add a new username/password combination for the first time and to create a strong password. 

You will see AutoFill pop up when a website asks you to create a password.

You will see an Autofill prompt In Safari when it's time to use or create a password. 

Click the AutoFill Key button, then choose Suggest New Password . For optimal security, you should use the suggested strong password. However, if you choose not to use the suggested password, you can easily select the password field, click “ Don’t Use ,” and enter your preferred password.

From there, enter the rest of the required information to create the website account.

Why use a separate password manager instead of a browser?

While most web browsers have their own password management feature, except for Safari which incorporates it into iCloud Keychain, in-browser password managers have limitations. They can only be used with one specific browser and cannot be accessed from other browsers. On the other hand, standalone password managers are compatible with any browser on your device, making them a more versatile option. Moreover, it is important to consider security when choosing a password manager. Browsers are not updated as frequently as standalone password managers, which can pose a security risk in case of a breach.

Does Safari have a built-in VPN?

Like many other browsers, Safari does not come with a pre-installed VPN. However, several reliable third-party VPNs like ExpressVPN, NordVPN, and SurfShark can easily be integrated with Safari. With a VPN, you can significantly boost the security and privacy of your online activities.

Are browser password managers safe?

To guarantee the safety of your passwords, using browser password managers like Safari with encryption is a great first step. However, there are additional measures you can take to further enhance your protection. It is highly recommended to create a strong and secure master password. The newest optional feature in Microsoft Edge mandates that you input your master password before making any changes to the password manager, thereby adding an extra layer of security. Regularly backing up your password manager is also a wise precaution in case of loss or theft. Another crucial step is creating a Firefox profile, allowing content synchronization across devices. This ensures that any changes made on your computer are reflected on your mobile device and vice versa.

What is iCloud Keychain?

iCloud Keychain is a highly reliable password manager that securely stores sensitive information such as passwords and credit card details in an online vault as part of Apple’s iCloud suite of services. Users can easily access their stored data by simply logging in to the same iCloud account on any Apple device. Thanks to the end-to-end encryption feature, user data is protected and can only be accessed by the user, even in the unlikely event of an iCloud account breach. Furthermore, the two-factor authentication feature provides an extra layer of security to user accounts, ensuring that they remain safe and secure at all times.

What are Apple Passkeys?

Apple Passkeys hope to eliminate the need for passwords eventually. This authentication method adheres to industry standards and guarantees improved security features while streamlining the login experience.

Passkeys create a unique cryptographic key pair for every website or application you use. The website or app stores the public key while the private one remains on your device. When you log in, your device produces a cryptographic signature using the private key. The website or application can then authenticate your identity by verifying this signature. With Passkeys, you can rest assured that your online security is in good hands.

Like passwords, passkeys are kept in Apple's iCloud Keychain. 

The built-in Safari password manager, part of the iCloud Keychain, makes tracking website usernames and passwords easier. Better still, those items carry over to other Apple devices, including iPhone and iPad. In the coming years, Apple hopes to eliminate the need for passwords and replace them with more secure passkeys. However, username and password combinations remain the most popular choice for website authentication.

Tips & Tricks

Troubleshooting, how to view saved passwords in safari on mac.

If you save passwords with Safari on Mac, you can easily go back and view those saved passwords. This is fantastic if you’ve lost a login, or perhaps if you forgot the password to one of your online accounts.

As long as you previously signed in to your account from Safari on Mac, iPhone, or iPad, you may be able to see the exact password you used thanks to iCloud Keychain.

Safari has a built-in password management solution that fills out website usernames and passwords for you. Every time you log in to a website in Safari for the first time, the browser will ask you if you want to save the password. When you click “Save Password”, Safari keeps a record of this data so that you don’t have to type in these details the next time you log in. If you’ve been using this feature regularly, you could potentially forget your password. Thankfully, you can recover the password pretty quickly even if you lose it. Let’s review how to see and reveal a saved password directly in Safari for Mac.

How to Find Saved Passwords in Safari for Mac

Viewing all the passwords you’ve entered while browsing in Safari is a pretty simple and straightforward procedure. Just follow the steps below to get started.

Pretty useful, right? Viewing saved passwords in Safari on MacOS is incredibly convenient, for many obvious reasons.

Keep in mind that you will only be able to find this lost password in Safari if you chose to “save password” when you typed in your login credentials on the particular website. You can also manually add account information to Safari for websites in the same menu as a one-time thing and you don’t have to remember your password again.

There’s one other way to view all your saved passwords in Safari and that’s using Keychain Access . Here, you’ll see password information for all the sign-ins you’ve made from your Mac and not just Safari. However, if you don’t use iCloud Keychain and have changed the password for any of your accounts from another device, this information that’s stored on your Mac will be outdated and can no longer be used unless you update it manually.

All the passwords you enter in Safari are securely stored in the keychain. Furthermore,  all the web passwords that Safari save to Keychain  will be synced across all your other Apple devices with the help of iCloud, meaning all of your iPhone, iPad, and Mac hardware will have access to the keychain saved data.

Obviously this covers the Mac, but you can see accounts and view passwords on iPhone and iPad with Keychain too .

Were you able to view all the saved passwords in Safari and regain access to the website you needed to? Were you able to use this method to recover your forgotten password? If not, did you find any other solution? What are your overall thoughts on Safari’s built-in password manager? Do share your valuable opinions and experience below.

How to Use Apple’s New All-In-One Password Manager

Most people don't use a  password manager or  two-factor authentication —even people who know it's a good idea—because installing and managing  yet another app just sounds exhausting. Well, if you're an Apple user, you don't need another app anymore: Your device can manage your passwords and generate two-factor authentication codes for you, and you can even sync them with a Windows computer.

Password managers are important . Why? To quickly summarize, using the same password for every website and app is an open invitation for hackers to access all of your accounts. That's because passwords regularly leak, and a leaked password on one site can give hackers access to all your other accounts if you use the same password everywhere. It's best, then, to use a totally different password on every site, but no human being can remember that many passwords.

Password managers are the best solution we have at the moment, because they can generate, and then store, secure passwords for all of your services. Most people don't use one, though, because such apps can be complicated to learn, and the best ones aren't free.

So it's great that Apple offers such functionality. But there's a downside: It's a little buried, if not outright hidden. Still, if you're a Safari user with multiple Apple devices, this feature means you can quickly generate and save secure passwords for all of your accounts. Here's how. Note that you'll need a (free) iCloud account for this service to sync passwords between devices, though if you're an Apple user you almost certainly already have one.

To get started, you may need to enable the feature, which you can find in System Settings on your device under  Passwords . Make sure  iCloud Keychain is turned on. Windows users should also install  iCloud for Windows , which can sync your passwords with Chrome or Microsoft Edge.

The simplest way to add passwords to Apple's hidden password manager is to just start using your devices and saving passwords as you go. When you sign into any online account in Safari, or in any app on your iPhone or iPad, there's generally a pop-up asking if you want to save the password in your  iCloud Keychain for AutoFill. This is the simplest way to add accounts: Just hit the  Save Password button and your username and password will be saved.

Alternatively, if you're signing up for a new account, you will generally be offered an automatically generated strong password—if not, you can tap the key icon at the top of the keyboard on mobile or in the right side of the password field on desktop. Either way you should see the Add New Password option, which can automatically create a strong password for you.

From now on, when you log in to the site, your device will offer to fill out the username and password for you. It will generally use TouchID, FaceID, or your system password to confirm you identity, after which the username and password field will be filled in. This saves you from having to remember the passwords, and even the usernames, you use to log in to websites.

You might be wondering  where , exactly, all of these passwords are saved. Let's head back to  Passwords in System Settings. Here you will find a list of all the passwords you've saved.

At the top of the list is a  Security Recommendations function, which will cross-reference your saved passwords with known lists of leaked accounts. This is a useful way to know if any of your passwords absolutely need to be changed.

Below that is a search bar, which you can use to quickly find any account. Open an account to see the username, password, and URLs associated with the account. You can also add a note to any account, if you want.

We've talked about how two-factor authentication keeps you more secure , but basically it means that a hacker who gets your password won't be able to log in unless they  also have physical access to your device. Generally two-factor authentication requires installing  yet another app, for generating codes, but Apple devices have this feature built in, and they can even fill in the field for you.

Head back to your list of passwords in the System Settings app. Open any account and you'll see a  Set Up Verification Code field.

Tap this and you can set up two-factor authentication for the application. How to do this depends on the specific service you're setting it up for, but it's generally in the settings of the specific app or website. You'll have a QR code to sign or, alternatively, a long code to copy.

After setting this up, your Apple device will automatically offer verification codes for you every time you log in to the service on any of your devices. It's really slick, and it's a lot faster than applications like Authy or Google Authenticator.

Note that if you have an existing password manager, you can import your passwords to Apple's system. Head back to  Passwords in the settings app and hit the three-dot button on the right above your list of passwords. Here you will see the option to  Import passwords .

You will need to export your passwords to a CSV file before you can use this functionality. Here are instructions for the leading password managers:

• Google Chrome

You can also  Export your Apple passwords to a CSV file from here, allowing you to import them into one of these password managers. We've outlined  the best password managers for you; my personal recommendations are  Bitwarden , which is free and open source, and  1Password , which is powerful, but not free to use.

There's not a lot of reason for the Apple faithful to do this, though. As we've outlined, Apple's password system does most of what these applications can do. The main problem is that they're hidden. 

Recently the blogger Cabel Sasser argued that  Apple Passwords needs an app , which is part of why I wrote this guide. I'm not sure if I agree with his premise—I suspect most people would simply ignore any “Passwords” app, the way they ignore most applications that come bundled with their devices. Still, it is true that all of this functionality is pretty buried. I hope this article helps you find it.

How to manage passwords on iPhone and iPad with Safari AutoFill

Gotten used to creating and saving passwords with the built-in Safari AutoFill feature on iPhone and iPad, but aren’t sure where they are stored? Or maybe just want to get the feature turned on? Read along for how to manage passwords on iPhone and iPad.

It’s become more and more seamless to use saved passwords in Safari to log in to websites and apps without having to manually type in your credentials on iPhone and iPad. However, sometimes you might need to view your passwords, or you might want to edit or remove old credentials.

We’ll also look at how to turn on Safari AutoFill Passwords on iPhone and iPad if you aren’t using the feature.

How to save and manage passwords on iPhone and iPad

Turn on safari autofill passwords on iphone and ipad.

Safari AutoFill Passwords is the feature that can automatically save and update your passwords on iPhone and iPad as well as offer to create automatic strong passwords when signing up for new accounts online.

It’s also end-to-end encrypted with iCloud Keychain.

• On your iPhone or iPad, open the Settings app
• Swipe down and choose Passwords
• Tap AutoFill Passwords at the top
• If you have a third-party password manager installed you may see the option to allow filling from multiple sources (e.g. 1Password, etc.) along with Apple’s iCloud Keychain
• Now when you log in to accounts, websites, etc. your iPhone will ask if you’d like to AutoFill, save/update or auto create a new password
• Also consider using Sign in with Apple or Sign in with Google/Facebook/Twitter etc. when creating new accounts as it means you don’t have to create another unique login and is a more secure way to manage your credentials

Keep in mind you’ll need to use the Safari app (Apple’s default browser on iPhone) to take advantage of this feature.

Also, if you’d like to save your passwords from iPhone to your other Apple devices, make sure to head to the Settings app > Your name > iCloud > Keychain > toggle on iCloud Keychain.

We’ve also got a walkthrough on using 2FA AutoFill in iOS:

• Here’s how to use the native iPhone 2FA code generator and autofill

How to view and edit saved passwords

The easiest way to update passwords is to head to the website or app and type in the new password. Safari AutoFill Passwords will ask if you’d like to update it.

Alternatively, here’s how to view and edit all your saved passwords manually:

• Open the  Settings app
• Swipe down and tap on Passwords
• Tap  Edit in the top right corner to delete multiple logins or swipe from right to left to delete individual items.
• Choose Edit  in the top right corner to manually change your stored user name or password

If you see a caution icon next to a saved item (triangle with exclamation mark), that indicates you’re using the same password for multiple accounts or your password may have been compromised in a data breach.

It’s important to change your passwords for any reused or compromised passwords. Apple even includes a Change Password on Website button when you’re looking at saved passwords to easily take care of them.

How to view a saved password in safari on mac.

Forgotten an important website password? If Safari has saved the password in the past on your Mac, it's easy to recover it. Here's how.

Sometimes, you need to login to a website on a different device or browser, but you can't remember the password. Luckily, if you have previously allowed Safari to save the password on your Mac, you can recover it. Here's how.

First, launch Safari. In the menu bar at the top of the screen, locate the "Safari" menu and click on it. Then click "Preferences."

A Preferences window will pop up that contains a row of icons stretched across the top. Click on the "Passwords" icon, which looks like a key.

Next, Safari will tell you that the "Passwords Are Locked." Using your Mac's keyboard, enter the password for your Mac user account and hit return.

Now you're in. In the Passwords section, you can see a list of all the sites Safari has saved passwords for. It will probably be a much longer list than the one seen below. Each entry lists the website, user name, and a password that has been hidden as a series of dots for security purposes.

Scroll through the list until you find the account you're looking for, then click on it. The password will be revealed.

Make sure you make a mental note of the password, then close the Preferences window. If you have trouble keeping many different passwords straight, consider using a password manager instead of potentially writing your passwords down on paper. Good luck, and stay safe!

Apple iphone, ipad, mac users abruptly locked out of devices, reset required.

• Share to Facebook
• Share to Twitter
• Share to Linkedin

Something strange is happening. Some Apple IDs are mysteriously locking their users out, and so far there’s no explanation why it’s happening. But it’s a real thing—and it happened to me early this morning.

Apple iPhone 15—one of the devices hit by mystery lock-out.

April 28 update below. This post was first published on April 27, 2024.

First reported by users on social media, it’s been happening since the evening of Friday, April 26, with people turning to their Apple devices, such as iPhones, iPads and Macs, only to find they’ve been locked out.

It happened to me first thing Saturday morning, April 27, and it wasn’t a nice feeling. Most of all, it’s just baffling. What did I do that led to my iPhone telling me I was locked out of my Apple ID? Had someone compromised a password of mine? Had I left my iPhone unlocked somewhere without realizing? Had the guy on the train I’d asked to look after my stuff while I went to the restroom somehow accessed stuff on my iPad?

Of course, all my devices still worked, but none would let me in to Apple apps, until I’d verified I was me. And doing this turned out to be impossible without resetting my Apple ID password.

As the day went on, I read on social media that I wasn’t alone in this, which was very comforting—maybe I hadn’t done something wrong after all.

Getting back into my account required a simple, straightforward process: thinking up a new password for Apple ID and setting that up. Not that difficult (though will I remember it? Thank goodness for 1Password), but a nuisance. Plus, as pointed out by 9to5Mac , app-specific passwords previously set up via iCloud have reset as well. Oh, and I needed to set up Messages on my Mac again.

Really, I got off lightly. I have Stolen Device Protection enabled, but I was at home when I checked my phone this morning. If it had happened a few hours earlier, I’d have been on that train I mentioned, which the iPhone would rightly have deemed was not a trusted location.

It’s hard to know exactly how widespread this is, but the breadth of comments on social media suggests it’s not an isolated incident affecting just a few people.

There’s no word from Apple yet about what might have happened, and the company’s system status webpage says all is well with Apple ID, which at least may mean that Apple thinks the issue isn’t happening now. But the cause remains a mystery.

Let’s look on the positive side: it’s good to refresh passwords more often than many of us do (including me). But it’s a process I could have done without today.

I’ll report back as more becomes known.

April 28 update. There’s still no word from Apple about what might have happened, but there are increasing reports of people being affected. As The Verge reported, one user on Mastodon said that they’d been told by an Apple support team person that “sometimes random security improvements are added to your account.” That’s fair enough, but this doesn’t seem to be that: there seem to be just too many people reporting they’ve had the same issue, including more than a few readers who’ve been in touch with me, for this to seem like a small, random thing.

It's not the first time this has happened, with a software developer reporting something similar happening in fall 2023.

The thing is, each case is separate, so it’s hard to say if everybody in the current predicament was affected by a bug or if there are different reasons for the reset. Though for so many to happen at the very same moment seems puzzling.

One of the most time-consuming things about putting things right seems to be coming up with new app-specific passwords.

If you’re affected by this, fellow Forbes contributor Davey Winder has an excellent how-to on the way to sort out app-specific passwords, with the sensible advice that, as you’re only allowed a maximum of 25 of these passwords, this might be a good time to clear out any unused ones.

You know it when you see it: here are some movies that got sex scenes right.

Linda Holmes

It is a happy coincidence that our "What makes a good sex scene?" episode came out in the same week as Challengers, a film about a romance triangle in the tennis world starring Josh O'Connor, Zendaya and (not pictured) Mike Faist. Niko Tavernise/Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures hide caption

It is a happy coincidence that our "What makes a good sex scene?" episode came out in the same week as Challengers, a film about a romance triangle in the tennis world starring Josh O'Connor, Zendaya and (not pictured) Mike Faist.

What makes a good sex scene? It can be easier spot bad sex, but Aisha Harris, Christina Tucker, Ronald Young, Jr. and I tried to focus on the good this week on Pop Culture Happy Hour. You can listen to our full conversation here. (We didn't originally plan for this episode to run the same week as our episode about Challengers , which is out in theaters now, but it's a happy coincidence, since that film has gotten a lot of attention — probably too much, relative to its other merits — for the sex scenes involving its three leads. It's really very good .)

Movie Reviews

Watch a tense romantic triangle play out on the tennis court in 'challengers'.

It's often very obvious when a sex scene is bad, just like when a sex scene in a book is bad. It can get so uncomfortable to watch that you have to leave the room (and not in a way that feels true to the story). One of my personal tells for a bad sex scene is when all I can think about is how hard the actors are trying to persuade me that the characters are having a good time. For example, there has been much good discussion in recent years about Showgirls being a more interesting and competent project than it originally got credit for, but in that one pool scene (if you know it, you know it), all I can see is the effort.

Lauren Bacall And The 'Sex? What Sex?' Kind Of Movie Sex

It's not always as clear which scenes are good . That's partly because they serve so many different functions, all of which look different, and all of which can be effective. Furthermore, you don't want to confuse whether a sex scene is used well in a film with whether it's hot to you personally, despite the fact that there is overlap between those considerations.

In the 'Last Dance,' Magic Mike leaves his thong-and-dance routine behind

Here's what I mean: When Aisha talks about the sequence near the beginning of Magic Mike's Last Dance , it's not irrelevant that the scene is, to her (and to me), hot. But it also makes sense in the context of the film and the franchise, partly because of the way it sets up the power dynamic between Mike (Channing Tatum) and Max (Salma Hayek Pinault). Mike is older now, he knows more, and the way he approaches a lap dance is actually different than in earlier movies.

And not all good sex scenes are hot in the same ways. The one I mentioned in the episode, from the romantic drama Love & Basketball , is sexy, yes. But it's also a scene between young adults (the talented basketball players Monica and Quincy, played by Sanaa Lathan and Omar Epps), and as such, it incorporates a tentativeness that's not present in Magic Mike's Last Dance , to say the least. As Ronald pointed out during our discussion, that sex scene is quite different from one that takes place later in Monica and Quincy's relationship, when they're older and know each other better. That certainly feels true to real life, but it's not always reflected in Hollywood films, where I would tentatively estimate that 90% of on-screen sex is more idealized and thus less intimate than real-life sex, in part because it isn't allowed to change over the course of a relationship.

Movie Interviews

'like it or not, we live in oppenheimer's world,' says director christopher nolan.

Even further from the hotness of the lap dance scene is Ronald's pick: the imagination of Kitty Oppenheimer (Emily Blunt) running wild in Oppenheimer. While her husband (Cillian Murphy) is being interrogated, she pictures him having sex with his mistress, Jean Tatlock (Florence Pugh). It goes by quickly enough that it might seem like a Christopher Nolan flourish for flourish's sake, but it serves the purpose of letting you feel her pain over her husband's affair. Her relationship with Robert doesn't look especially romantic in the film, let alone sexually charged; she finds herself consumed by the idea that he was having hot sex with this other woman, and she locks eyes with her vision of a naked Tatlock and finds herself tormented. It's not really the intent of the scene to titillate the audience, just to give specificity to the shape of Kitty's preoccupation with the affair.

What makes a good sex scene?

Christina raised another really important point, which is that sex scenes also collide with viewers at very specific moments. Her example from Bound , and the scenes between Violet (Jennifer Tilly) and Corky (Gina Gershon), touches on (among other things) her own history. It's an underappreciated aspect of the sex-in-movies discourse: representation matters in these scenes as much as anywhere else. I always wish I saw more sex scenes in movies that featured a broader variety of body types; it's still really rare to see ones that feature anybody who is even average sized. This is one of the reasons I'm curious about the upcoming season of Bridgerton , which places its focus on the gorgeous and curvaceous Penelope (Nicola Coughlan).

Good sex scenes are like any other kind of good filmmaking, honestly: it comes down to execution with purpose and care, done relative to whatever the function of the scene might be.

Whether that's spiciness or conflict or relationship growth or (as in the case of Bound ) setting up a steamy neo-noir story that wouldn't be the same if it weren't hot as heck, form follows function, ideally.

One Tech Tip: What to do if your personal info has been exposed in a data breach

LONDON (AP) — Data breaches like the recent one involving millions of AT&T customers are becoming an almost regular occurrence.

As more of our lives move online, our personal data like email addresses, phone numbers, birthdates and even passcodes are becoming ever more vulnerable to theft or being mistakenly exposed.

In malicious breaches, cybercriminals can use stolen data to target people with phishing messages, or by taking out loans or credit cards in their name, a common and harmful type of identity theft.

Here are some tips to protect yourself.

In the United States, there’s no federal law compelling companies or organizations to notify individuals of data breaches, but it’s standard practice for them to inform affected customers and often provide identity protection services, said Oren Arar, vice president of consumer privacy at cybersecurity company Malwarebytes.

The situation is better in the European Union, where the 27-nation bloc’s privacy regulations require disclosure of certain types of breaches.

Even after a breach has been made public, cybersecurity experts say people need to remain vigilant. Be on guard for phishing and other social engineering attempts, in the form of emails or phone calls purporting to be from the hacked organization or someone offering help. Contact the company or organization involved to see if they can confirm it. But use their official website, smartphone app or social media channels - don’t use links or contact details in any messages you’ve been sent.

Also consult the Federal Trade Commission’s website for identity theft victims, identitytheft.gov, which provides step-by-step advice on how to recover from various scenarios.

Change your password

If your data has been exposed, the first thing you should do is change your password for the account involved.

Use a strong password including letters, numbers and symbols. The longer the better - some experts say it should be 16 characters. Make sure to add multifactor authentication, which adds a second layer of verification by requiring a code sent by text message or email, or inserting a USB authenticator key into your device.

And if you’ve been using the same or similar login information for multiple websites or online accounts, make sure to change it. The reason is that if hackers pilfer your password from one service, they can try it on your other accounts and easily get into all of them. If you find it too hard to memorize all your various credentials, consider a password manager.

“Just because your info shows up in a breach doesn’t mean someone’s stolen your identity or money. But it does mean you’re at risk,” said Arar. “That’s why it’s smart to watch your credit for new accounts, change any passwords that get leaked, use multifactor authentication, and have a separate ‘junk’ email for less important sign-ups.”

Keep monitoring

Data breaches are rampant and it can be hard to keep track of them through individual notifications. There are online services that you can check, like Have I Been Pwned , a free website that shows if your email has been involved in a data breach.

Malwarebytes’ Digital Footprint Portal does a similar job but it can also check whether your info has been posted on the dark web.

“When public data breaches occur, cybercriminals gather as much data as possible so they can sell it on the dark web,” said Darren Guccione, CEO of Keeper Security, which makes password protection software and offers a tool, BreachWatch, that scans the dark web to see if your personal information shows up there.

Tell your bank and credit agencies

If card payment numbers were stolen, inform your bank or credit card company, explaining that your card is at risk of fraud and asking them to alert you of any suspicious activity. They’ll probably issue a new card right away. Some banking and credit card apps allow you to lock the account and freeze any transactions from the app.

You can also notify credit agencies - the three main ones are Equifax, Experian and TransUnion. They can freeze your credit, which restricts access to your credit report and makes it hard to open new accounts or issue a fraud alert, which will be a warning added to your credit report encouraging lenders to contact you before lending money.

Take extra care after telco hacks

Cybersecurity experts have warned that breaches that involve a telephone company, like the AT&T case, leave customers vulnerable to having their phone numbers stolen, or “simjacked.” Thieves could then use the hijacked number to access other accounts that use that number for multi-factor authentication through text messages.

To reduce that risk, AT&T advises also setting up a unique passcode that’s needed to prevent significant account changes such as porting phone numbers to another carrier. Also, delete phone bills, bank statements and other messages with personal info from your email account, so that if criminals gain access to your inbox, they won’t be able to use that information to pass security checks.

Newlyweds Nick Viall and Natalie Joy Jet Off on Honeymoon With 2-Month-Old Daughter

Newlyweds Nick Viall and Natalie Joy are turning their honeymoon into a family affair.

“Honeymoon begins,” Viall, 43, captioned an Instagram selfie on Monday, April 29, featuring himself and Joy, 25, sitting on an airplane as he held their 2-month-old daughter, River. In the snap, Viall sported a sweet smile as his little one peacefully rested on his shoulder.

Viall shared the same snap via his Instagram Story on Monday but did not reveal where the family of three were heading.

Viall and Joy walked down the aisle in Georgia just two days prior. “Husband and Wife,” Viall captioned a slideshow of wedding pics via Instagram on Sunday, April 28, including several photos of the couple posing with their baby girl.

Viall also shared a handful of pics and clips from the pair’s Western-themed wedding reception, which was attended by family, friends and several Bachelor Nation stars. “The welcome party was giving love and country chic,” he captioned a video montage of the afterparty.

The duo got engaged back in January 2023 after more than two years of dating. “For the rest of my life, it’s you,” Viall wrote via Instagram at the time.

Nearly eight months later, they announced that Joy was pregnant with their first baby. Sharing maternity photo shoot pics via Instagram , Joy wrote, “Our biggest dream came true.”

Viall and Joy welcomed baby River in February, revealing via Instagram that their daughter is “named after Natalie’s great grandmother and niece.” Viall added: “The best part of life starts now 🦢🕊️☁️💗.”

Viall opened up about his daughter’s birth story on an episode of his “Viall Files” podcast later that month, revealing that River’s umbilical cord was “ wrapped around her neck several times.” He explained: “I did not see until my mom showed us the footage that [she] took … and you just see [the nurses] unwrapping the umbilical cord.”

He also shared that River “came out and she had a bump on her head,” which was something Joy had “prepped” him for. “Had I not, I probably would have been freaking out,” he confessed.

Viall went on to gush about his early interactions with his daughter in the hospital. “I went over by River and started just kissing her and she just stopped crying,” he tearfully shared, to which Joy added, “She recognized his voice and she stopped crying.”

While the new parents couldn’t be happier with their bundle of joy, Viall admitted that they have faced challenges in their sex life since welcoming River. “It’s logistically hard ‘cause you have this little baby and she’s an angel and all of that and she’s obviously always by our side,” he said on his podcast earlier this month. “Part of that, we had Natalie’s mom [living with us, too]. The best we could have done was, ‘Here, we’re going to go into the bedroom’ and that feels odd. So, we haven’t got that comfortable with her mom yet.”

He continued: “The spirit is there, but logistically we haven’t quite cracked that code.”
