April 24, 2025 Hands-On Mac 179: Using the Passwords App in macOS Sequoia
Mikah Sargent takes viewers on a comprehensive tour of the Passwords app in macOS Sequoia, demonstrating how this robust tool serves as a complete credential management system. From passkeys to verification codes and shared passwords, Mikah explores how Apple has created a secure yet user-friendly solution for managing all your login information across devices.

Passkeys - These are created automatically when you set up passkey authentication on websites, with limited editing options but the ability to add notes or modify the associated website.

Verification codes - Users can add two-factor authentication codes either by entering setup keys manually or scanning QR codes.

Wi-Fi - The app stores Wi-Fi network credentials, displays network security information (WPA2/WPA3), and lets users generate QR codes for easy sharing.

Security recommendations - The app alerts users when passwords may be compromised in data breaches using Apple's differential privacy techniques that protect user privacy.

Password sharing feature - Users can create groups to share specific login credentials with family members or others, with granular control over which passwords are shared.

Password importing - The app supports importing passwords from CSV files, though Mikah strongly recommends deleting these files immediately after import for security.

Cross-device synchronization - All passwords sync across Apple devices with end-to-end encryption via iCloud.

Windows compatibility - Even Windows users can access their passwords through the iCloud Passwords app, making it a versatile solution.

Passwords User Guide - Apple Support - https://support.apple.com/guide/passwords/welcome/1.1/mac/15.4.1
