How to see saved passwords using Siri

  1. Summon Siri on your iPhone. You can do so by pressing the right-side button on iPhones with Face ID. On other iPhones, press and hold the Home Button. You can also use the hot-word 'Hey Siri.'
  2. Now, ask Siri 'Show all my passwords.'
  3. You can also ask Siri for specific passwords. For this, say something like, 'Show my Gmail password,' or 'Show my Twitter password.'
  4. Next, authenticate using Touch ID or Face ID. You'll be inside Settings where you can view, copy, or AirDrop your credentials.

What are the AutoFill Passwords?

When Autofill Passwords is enabled, you automatically see the username/email (password is not shown but auto-filled) above the keyboard (or tap the key icon) when you're on a website or app's login field. It's super handy.

However, Apple provides you the option to disable this feature. To do so, tap on the toggle next to Autofill Passwords under Settings → Passwords & Accounts. After this, you'll have to manually follow the above steps, see/copy the username + password, and type/paste it.

What are Security Recommendations in iOS 14?

In iOS 13, if you use the same password on more than one site or app, you'll see a small triangle with an exclamation mark inside it. When you tap on it, you see which sites you've used this same password on. Pretty neat!

With iOS 14, Apple has taken password monitoring to the next level. Now, it automatically lets you know if the passwords you use have been involved in a data breach or not. If it finds a breach, you can upgrade to secure Sign in with Apple or set a new, different password.

Apple states that 'Safari uses strong cryptographic techniques to regularly check derivations of your passwords against a list of breached passwords in a secure and private way that doesn't reveal your password information – even to Apple.'
