How to easily share passwords in iOS 17

Your iPhone has just been upgraded to the new operating system iOS 17, which brings many exciting new features. The most anticipated of these is a secure and convenient way to share passwords with friends and family.

What is password sharing?

This new feature allows you to create a trusted group of family and friends and share passwords. This is useful, for example, if you share a Netflix account with a sibling or a Spotify account with a close friend.

How to set up a password sharing group

We promise, setting up a new sharing group is easy. Please follow these steps to get started:

Open the Settings app. Scroll down and click Password. Under "Family Password," select "Get Started" and give your group a name. Here you can add people to your shared password group. They must be a saved contact on your phone, and their iPhone needs to be running iOS 17 as well. Now select the password (or key) you want to share with the group. When everything is ready, click "Move" in the upper right corner. You can send a message to people in the newly created group to let them know your password has a new home.

Now you can edit, add and delete shared passwords and manage sharing groups directly on your phone.

How to change the password after creating a sharing group

We all know that passwords can be changed. We recommend changing this every few months to keep your account secure. You can edit the password in a shared group instead of deleting the group and starting over.

Go to "Settings" > "Passwords" > "Family Passwords" to manage shared passwords at any time.
