Can I use third-party password managers to store Passkeys?
Yes, but there are some important limitations — especially regarding your iOS version and the password manager you choose.
Which password managers support Passkeys on iOS?
|
Password Manager |
Supported from iOS Version |
|
iCloud Keychain |
iOS 16+ |
|
1Password |
iOS 17+ |
|
Bitwarden, learn more |
iOS 17+ |
⚠️ Important: The Passkey must be saved in the same manager!
A Passkey stored in Google Password Manager will only work with that manager — the same applies to Bitwarden, etc.
Authentication is always tied to the password manager in which the Passkey was saved.
How do I set a third-party password manager as the default for Passkeys?
iOS 17+
Open Settings
