Do Passwords Transfer to New iPhone?

When transitioning to a new iPhone, many users wonder if their passwords will transfer seamlessly as well. The answer to this question largely depends on the method you use to set up your new device.

If you have enabled iCloud Keychain on your old iPhone, you can easily transfer your saved passwords to the new device. During the setup process of your new iPhone, simply choose to restore from an iCloud backup that includes your keychain data. This way, once your new device is set up, your saved passwords will be readily available.

Another way to transfer passwords to your new iPhone is by using third-party password manager apps such as LastPass or 1Password. These apps securely store your login information and can be easily synced to your new device once you download the app and log in with your account credentials.

However, if you haven't used iCloud Keychain or a password manager on your old device, you may have to manually re-enter your passwords on the new iPhone. This process can be time-consuming and prone to errors, so it's always recommended to use a secure method to store and transfer your passwords.
