How to turn on / off iCloud Keychain (password prompt feature) on iPhone

iCloud Keychain was developed to provide flexible synchronization of login information, credit card information and some other important data between devices in the Apple software ecosystem.

In other words, iCloud Keychain is Apple's integrated password management system. Through this feature, users can securely store a variety of personal data on their MacBook, iPhone or iPad. These information will be synced across all devices with the same iCloud account. In addition, thanks to this feature, you can also quickly fill in login information quickly when needed.

Overall, iCloud Keychain works quite effectively and can meet the needs of the majority of Apple product users. However, for those with higher requirements, wanting to switch to a dedicated third-party password manager, it's best to disable (disable) Cloud Keychain first.

iCloud Keychain is the default password manager on your iPhone and iPad, and it pops up every time you sign up or try to log in to a new website. That is the iCloud Keychain feature that suggests you create a strong password.

You can disable the iCloud Keychain feature from your device's Settings app. To get started, open the ' Settings ' app on your iPhone or iPad by tapping the gray gear icon on the home screen.
