Whenever I wish to visit some of my favorite websites, I don’t want to enter login details for them. And I guess most of you don’t like it either. So, what’s the better way to get over it securely? Pretty simple! If you are using iOS, you can enable Safari to save passwords for websites you frequently visit on your iPhone. Not for nothing, Safari is considered to be the most secure web browser. You can take full advantage of it to browse the web securely. I will talk more about what stands it apart. For now, let’s get to know how its AutoFill password feature works!
How to Enable Safari to Save Passwords for Websites
Step #1. Open Settings app on your iOS device.
Step #2. Now, scroll down and tap on Passwords & Accounts.
Step #3. Ensure that the switch next to AutoFill Passwords is turned ON, if it’s not already.
Note: in iOS 11, you need to go to Settings → Safari → AutoFill → Turn on the switch next to Names and Passwords.
From now onwards, when you visit any site and log in, Safari will ask you to save the passwords. If you often visit that site, save the password and you are done!
If you ever want to stop the web browsing from asking you to save the passwords, follow the same steps mentioned above and then turn off the switch next to AutoFill Passwords.
