Sharing passwords with friends, family, or colleagues can be a hassle, but fortunately, it is easy to do with Apple devices. In this article, we will walk you through the process of sharing passwords from your Mac to your iPhone.
Apple’s preferred method for sharing passwords between two Apple devices is using Airdrop. To use this method, you need to meet specific security requirements. To share your password on your iPhone or iPad, open settings, scroll down to passwords, and choose the account you want to share. Tap on the share icon and select the contact you want to Airdrop.
The person receiving the password needs to be discoverable in Airdrop, and both parties must have Bluetooth and Wi-Fi enabled. You also need to have keychain enabled in your iCloud settings, and you both must have each other listed as a contact on each other’s device.
If you don’t meet these requirements or don’t want to use Airdrop, you can copy the password and share it using an encrypted messaging app, such as WhatsApp or Signal.
If you want to share all your passwords, you can only do this on Mac, not on an iPhone or iPad. Open the settings app, choose passwords, and select the drop-down menu option to import and export all passwords. Exporting will save all your passwords into a CSV file, which is unencrypted in plain text.
In conclusion, sharing passwords between your Mac and iPhone is easy using Airdrop or encrypted messaging apps. Additionally, you can export all your passwords into a CSV file on your Mac to share them with others.
