Notes for Passwords are available in the iOS, iPadOS, and macOS betas. I know a lot of you have asked for this; it’s really versatile. :-)<\/p>\n

The password manger’s search field searches them. The Mac password manager can import and export them.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I’m loving the built-in password manager’s support for verification codes, and a freeform notes field was my number one feature request.<\/p>\n\n

Passwords stored in iCloud can be accessed through the Passwords menu in the Settings app. Once you tap to edit a password, there’s now a new option to add a note text alongside the login details.<\/p>\n

[…]<\/p>\n

As expected, the notes you add to your passwords can only be accessed after you authenticate with Touch ID or Face ID.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, Apple still insists on keeping iCloud Keychain as a menu within the iOS Settings app rather than making it a standalone app[…]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

And, on the Mac, it’s available in System Preferences and Safari’s Preferences, both of which have single-window, non-resizable interfaces. (The notes do not<\/a> appear in the Keychain Access app.)<\/p>\n\n

And here’s a simple shortcut I made that you can use to put the password manager on your home screen, if you’re into that sort of thing.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

There’s no secondary password, so this demonstrates that anyone with access to phone has full access to all your passcodes including iCloud. Always true but now inescapable. You need super strong phone passcode.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
