View Saved Passwords And Credit Cards In iPhone Running iOS 12

When Apple introduced Autofill and Saved Password features in iOS 7, it made things a lot easier for iPhone users. These features eliminated the need to enter a password everytime you visit a website. The autofill feature made it easy to fill forms online as your basic details such as name and email address are filled automatically from the saved iPhone passwords. As for management, Apple’s iCloud Keychain moved the game one notch up as you can save your passwords, credit card details, etc safely if you are browsing the internet on Safari.

If you have saved a password or card details on your MacBook in Safari via iCloud keychain, you can access the same password on your iPhone as well. This syncing facility on iOS and MacOS has further contributed to the success of iCloud Keychain.

Passwords saved in iCloud Keychain could be used on websites that offer autofill feature. In case, you are not able to use the autofill on a website (some websites do not support autofill due to security concerns), you can still access your saved credit cards and passwords by visiting the Settings app on your iPhone.

With below-given instructions, you can view saved passwords in iPhone running iOS 12.
