Getting locked out of your apps or iPhone can be troubling. It worsens when you keep trying different passwords and they don't work. You might begin to question whether or not you even knew the password from the start. As an iPhone expert, I can tell you that to be able to handle your password problems on your iPhone, the first thing you should know is how it works.

How Does Password Management Work on iOS and iPadOS?

iCloud Keychain is your iPhone password manager, which stores your passwords from WiFi, apps, websites, credit card details, and other secure information. It keeps this information updated across all your devices (running iOS 7 and later). 

The iCloud Keychain allows you to monitor your passwords and gets alerted in cases of a potential data leak. It is also responsible for auto-filling your information when entering your login information on a Safari account and WiFi passwords on any approved device. This saves you the challenge of manually updating passwords on all your devices.
