iCloud Keychain is becoming a better password manager in iOS 15.4

<div id="link_wrapped_content">
<body><section class="wp-block-bigbite-multi-title"><div class="container"></div></section><p>One of the most underrated features of iOS is the built-in password manager that lets you store and sync your logins across all your devices. And it&rsquo;s about to get even better.</p>



<p>While you&rsquo;re already able to create your own logins without needing to visit a site first, the <a href="https://www.macworld.com/article/609192/ios-15-4-features-release-date-beta-install.html" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.macworld.com/article/609192/ios-15-4-features-release-date-beta-install.html">iOS 15.4 beta[/url] also lets you add notes to a password you&rsquo;ve already created. That means you can add security question answers, pin codes, or previous passwords alongside your login and protect it with Face ID or Touch ID. It&rsquo;s not quite as convenient as 1Password or Last Pass, which lets you store notes independent of passwords, but Apple has the Notes app for that.</p>



<p>You can&rsquo;t add a note until a password has already been created, so you&rsquo;ll need to track down your saved passwords. You&rsquo;ll find them in the Password tab in Settings. You&rsquo;ll need to use Face ID or enter your passcode to authenticate, and once you do, you&rsquo;ll see a list of all of your logins. Select any of them and you&rsquo;ll see a new Add Notes button. Tap it and a text box will appear. Type what you want, and tap Done in the top right corner.</p>



<p>It&rsquo;s an excellent feature that fills one of the biggest gaps between Apple&rsquo;s and other third-party password managers. We expect it to launch with iOS 15.4 in late February or March, possibly alongside a new iPhone SE.</p>
