AirDrop is a useful function present in Apple devices, with the help of which you can send photos, documents and even passwords with other Apple devices in your vicinity. Of course, in the most secure manner. All you need to do is turn on Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. So, learn how to share passwords from iPhone with AirDrop. First, it's important to mention that passwords sent via AirDrop can only be received by the person you have saved in your contacts. You also need to have it set up on your iPhone Keychain on iCloud, which we have already covered at Jablíčkář.

Turn on AirDrop

If you want to share a given password with a user of a mobile device, i.e. an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, the other device must be enabled to receive items in the AirDrop settings. The procedure is as follows:

  • Open it control center.
  • Top left hold your finger on a group of controls.
  • Here you can activate the AirDrop feature.

You then determine the visibility of AirDrop in Settings -> In general -> AirDrop. For a Mac, open Finder and select AirDrop. If necessary, you can determine the visibility of the function below.

How to send password from iPhone with AirDrop 

Because Keychain on iCloud saves your passwords on iPhone. Therefore, wherever you enter the password, it will be saved in the apple phone, specifically in Settings -> Passwords. If you want to share any of the passwords, the procedure is as follows:

  • Open the native app Settings.
  • Scroll down a bit and select the tab Passwords.
  • Subsequently you select an account, whose password you want to share.
  • Then tap the password line with your finger and choose AirDrop…
  • Then select the device in the neighborhood you want to send the password to.

You can also share passwords through the share icon, after selecting which you again select the device to which you want to send the password. In both cases, a request to accept a password will appear on the other device, in which you just need to tap on Accept. The password is then saved to that device for future use. Thanks to this function, it is not necessary to rewrite or dictate passwords in a complex manner, which is also quite dangerous.
