What if you want to do the same on your iPhone as well? In some cases, you are required to provide an Apple ID password to confirm these actions. Unlike some third-party solutions, Apple Keychain is a password management tool you can really trust and there are rarely any problems.

This means that the information is protected by a unique device passcode and key, and you are the only person who knows them. Keychain Access is the built-in password manager for macOS.
It stores passwords and account information, and retrieves it on demand. The function is also used to store any credit card numbers, bank account PINs, and secure notes that have been used online.
Users can turn to Keychain Access to manage certificates issued by trusted organizations to validate websites, documents, or other web-based materials. AutoFill is turned on by default in Safari , so every time you visit a website you'll see a prompt from Keychain Access to save the password to your keychain.
