Share passwords or passkeys with people you trust on Apple Vision Pro
Shared password groups are an easy and secure way to share passwords and passkeys with your family and trusted contacts.
Anyone in the group can add passwords and passkeys. When a shared password changes, it changes on everyone’s device.
Send a passkey or password with AirDrop
To share with someone with AirDrop, ask them to open Control Centre and allow AirDrop to receive items.
Compared to sharing other types of information, AirDrop has more stringent requirements for sharing passkeys and passwords.

The passkey or password is saved to their device, where they can view its information and let their device automatically fill it in on the sign-in screen for the account. The passkey or password is also saved to their iCloud Keychain, so they can use it on other devices where they’re signed in to their Apple Account.
