iOS Passkey Preparation

Settings change

Passkeys (and passwords) are synchronised with the iCloud account and stored in iCloud depending on the operating system. This means that passkeys are also available on other Apple devices.

The first step is to adjust the settings accordingly. To do this, open the Apple ID menu item in the settings and then go to the iCloud option. There you will find the Passwords & Keychain function.

Now activate iCloud Passwords & iCloud Keychain with the option “Synchronize this iPad (iPhone)”.

Further settings must be changed. To do this, search for the Safari app in the Settings menu.
Then, in the Safari settings, deactivate the slider for Block pop-ups under the General menu item.

Alternative solution without iCloud synchronisation

Passkeys (and passwords) are synchronised with the Passwords depending on the operating system and stored in the Apple-Cloud. This means that passkeys are also available on other Apple devices. If you do not want this, you can alternatively set up Keepassium (iOS/iPadOS 17.0).
