How to Update Your Email Password on iPhones Running iOS 11
Apple's iOS is one of the leading operating systems out there and for good reasons. Not only is it fresh, streamlined and effective, but it also has a reputation for being difficult to hack. Despite that Apple doesn't rest on its laurels. The first trillion dollar company in the world didn't get to where it is by sitting on its butt all day and being satisfied with mediocrity. Apple is constantly updating iOS and all of its features. This includes security and password management.
One of the key new features is the option to access saved accounts and passwords when you're logging in on the web and in apps. Now when you enter a website or app you'll see a key icon displayed in the password and username fields. Clicking on that key will display all the saved accounts and passwords on your device. This way you can log into your favorite websites with just a few taps. This feature also gives you the ability to edit passwords easily.
