Does iCloud Backup Save Passwords?

As more of our personal information and digital lives are stored online, ensuring the security of our data is crucial. Apple's iCloud is a popular cloud storage service that many people use to back up their devices, photos, contacts, and more. But what about passwords?

When it comes to passwords, iCloud Backup does not directly save or back up your passwords in a readable format. However, it's essential to understand how iCloud handles passwords and where they are stored.

Apple provides a secure way to store passwords through iCloud Keychain. iCloud Keychain is an encrypted password manager that securely stores your passwords and auto-fills them on your devices. It is designed to sync your saved passwords across all your Apple devices, making it convenient and easy to access your accounts.

So, while iCloud Backup itself does not save your passwords, iCloud Keychain is the feature you should rely on to securely store and manage your passwords across your Apple devices.

Remember to enable two-factor authentication and use strong, unique passwords for all your accounts to enhance your security posture online.
