How to Transfer Passwords to Your New Phone

Have a new phone? That's great! But before you start enjoying its features, there's an important task to be done. Unless you don't want to use it from scratch, you need to transfer passwords from your old phone.

To do this, you can backup your old phone and restore the backup on your new device or use AirDrop to share separate passwords. See our guide for iOS below for detailed instructions and choose the way you prefer.

Transfer Passwords to a New iPhone with AirDrop

Apart from contacts or photos, you can use AirDrop to share your account credentials with another iOS device. For this, both your old and new iPhones should be running at least the iOS 11 version. Besides, they should be placed not far away from each other, within range of AirDrop.

Transferring passwords to a new iPhone via this method involves the following steps:

Turn on AirDrop in Settings. Alternatively, you can enable it via the Control Center. To do it, long-press the WiFi option and turn on AirDrop. WiFi and Bluetooth should also be enabled on both the old and the new device.
Select passwords you want to transfer.
1. On your old iPhone, go to Settings > Passwords & Accounts > Website & App Passwords.
