"I just brought a new iPhone and it has not picked up my saved passwords from my old phone, is there anything I can do?" When a new iPhone is released, you can immediately get it from Apple Store online or offline. However, data migration is a big challenge. Except for photos, messages, and apps, you also need the passwords on your old device. This guide tells you how to transfer passwords to a new iPhone quickly.
As the official cloud storage, iCloud helps you back up private data to the server. It also protects your passwords very carefully and enables you to transfer passwords to a new iPhone 16 or earlier. This way does not require extra software or hardware but a good internet connection.
AirDrop is the wireless connection between Apple devices. It allows you to easily share content from one iPhone to another face to face. It is also a simple way to transfer specific passwords from iPhone to iPhone. This way requires both iPhones are running iOS 11 or later.
Note: This way is suitable to transfer one or several passwords. Plus, bear in mind that you just transfer the passwords to a new iPhone. If you want Safari to autofill them, enable the Autofill Passwords feature in the Settings app.
iTunes backup is another way to transfer passwords to a new iPhone without Wi-Fi. You can back up the entire old iPhone including passwords, and restore the backup to the new iPhone.
Type in the password that you left for the backup, and wait for iTunes to finish the process. At last, disconnect the new iPhone. Now, the passwords will go to the new device along with other data.
Note: iTunes can only transfer passwords along with other data to your new iPhone. You cannot select specific passwords.
