iPhones are one of the best smartphones across the globe and the one reason behind this is its security features. The handsets come with an in-built password manager that automatically blocks security threats. iPhone's iCloud Keychain stores the passwords, encrypts them, and stores them in the cloud and simply enters them while logging in. Apple explained in its blogpost, "It auto-fills your information – like your Safari usernames and passwords, credit cards, Wi-Fi networks and social log-ins – on any device that you approve.”

It added, "iCloud Keychain stores your passwords and credit card information in such a way that Apple cannot read or access them."

In addition to this, the iPhone also has a Safari web browser with a feature called Strong Passwords. With this, whenever you sign up to a service on Safari, it uses an auto-generated password that can't be cracked and it even gets saved in your iCloud Keychain.

Further, it also has the password reuse alert that warns users of the two same passwords on multiple accounts. Doing so might land you into trouble as hackers who break into one account can then get access to others as well. Know how to turn on iCloud keychain.
