PASSWORDS & AUTOFILL Store usernames, passwords and account notes, and organize them into groups. Use SecureKit Password AutoFill to fill saved usernames and passwords in compatible apps and websites. Authenticate with Face ID, Touch ID or your device passcode. Enable SecureKit in the iOS AutoFill settings and save the website domain with each account to help iOS suggest the right credentials. Availability depends on the app or website's login fields. AutoFill fills your credentials; the app or website handles sign-in. TWO-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION Keep 2FA codes beside their accounts. Scan an authenticator QR code or enter its details manually.
