The easiest way to send a combination to another person with an Apple device.
To send the code to a friend or transfer it to your other devices, it is not necessary to rewrite the combination letter by letter from the screen. With the AirDrop password sharing feature available in iOS 12 and macOS Mojave, everything can be made much easier.
How it works
To transfer the password, both devices must have a supported OS version and be on the same network. AirDrop, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth must be enabled too. When sending, the password is transmitted along with the login and is saved in the "Keychain" of the second device.
If the sent account already exists, iOS will offer to replace the password for it. After that, the added combination can be used on sites, confirming the input using Face ID and Touch ID.
How to share a password
To send a password, you need to open it through the settings and select the AirDrop transfer option. The function works both for devices linked to your Apple ID account and for gadgets that belong to other people.
How to send password from iPhone or iPad
1. Open "Settings" → "Passwords and accounts".
2. Go to the Site & Software Passwords menu and unlock your data using Face ID or Touch ID.
3. Find the required account in the list or by searching and open it.
4. Make a long tap on the password field and press AirDrop.
5. Select the device to which you want to send the password.
6. Confirm the reception on the other device and save the password.
How to send password from Mac
1. Open Safari and go to Preferences → Passwords.
2. Unlock the data by entering your Mac user password and select the desired account.
3. Right click on it, click Send via AirDrop and select a recipient.
4. Confirm the reception on the other device and save the password in the Keychain Access.
