Apple’s new password manager is free. That’s just one reason to use it.

Apple has released a Passwords app for iPhone and Mac users, making it easier to set up and manage strong passwords. The app suggests unique, secure passwords when signing up for new accounts and fills them in automatically when needed. Users can also share logins with family members, with updates automatically applied when passwords are changed. While the app lacks additional features found in subscription-based security apps, it serves as a good starting point for improving password security. It can be synced to Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge on Mac and PC through the iCloud Passwords extension.
