You had to open Safari Preferences, click on Passwords, sign in, select the desired page, and then click on the black dots representing the password. And if the person you wanted to share the password with lost that password, you had to repeat the whole process all over again. Now the process is a little shorter and the selected people get direct access to the passwords you want to make available to them. Shared passwords will appear in their Safari browser without you having to resend them. If the password changes, you and everyone else in the group have the updated version—without you having to do anything about it
