As Keychain Access stores your data locally , the only way to keep your data in sync on all devices using this approach is to enter them manually or transfer them via USB stick or the like, a problem that iCloud Keychain solves. The feature lets you share keychains with your other devices in an instant.
All device-specific keychains are created and managed from within the iCloud account; you need only activate it. Just like other, high-quality password managers, iCloud Keychain mainly focuses on keeping your data in sync , while keeping a backup in the cloud so authorized users can recover it in case anything goes wrong such as losing a device.
Just like password management services, iCloud Keychain stores your data locally on your device and updates across approved devices, but it needs to be set up to work that way.
If we compare Apple's password manager to third party services, there are a few aspects that put both parties at an advantage, and so the choice depends on the following factors: price, security and ease of use.
When it comes to security iCloud Keychain is a robust service, but password managers such as 1Password , LastPass , or Dashlane , on the other hand, provide a much wider reach. Where iCloud Keychains sync is limited to Apple devices, third party services have the advantage of delivering extensions for multiple web browsers and apps for other popular platforms. But one of the key features that is able to swing the needle one way or the other is ease of use. A password manager system has to be easily accessible for a seamless consumer experience.

You activate this in the iCloud settings on your Mac or iOS device. When you visit a website and encounter a login form, Safari on the Mac or on iOS will pre-fill the form if it has stored a password for that site. And if none of these options are correct, which may happen if a website has changed its domain, for example, click or tap Passwords to search all the saved passwords.
Tap one of them to see its user name and password. If you tap the share button at the top of the screen, you can AirDrop both the user name and password to a friend or family member. The Passwords setting on iOS includes a security feature that can help ensure that your passwords are secure. Tap it to see a list of logins you should change; tap Change Password on Website to go to the website in question to update the password.
