How to View Saved Passwords with Siri in iOS 12

iOS 12 allows users to quickly access their stored iCloud Keychain credentials using simple Siri voice commands. This guide explains how to prompt Siri to reveal specific account credentials or open your entire saved password list, detailing the voice commands to use and the security authentication required to protect your sensitive data.

Supported Voice Commands

You can prompt Siri using either the side/home button or by saying "Hey Siri." Depending on what you need, use any of the following phrases:

  • To view all saved passwords: "Hey Siri, show all my passwords" or "Hey Siri, open my passwords."
  • To view a specific account password: "Hey Siri, show my [Website or App Name] password" (for example, "Hey Siri, show my Netflix password" or "Show my password for google.com").

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Activate Siri: Press and hold the Side button (iPhone X or later) or Home button (iPhone 8 or earlier), or say "Hey Siri."
  2. Speak Your Command: State your request clearly, specifying the website or asking for the full list.
  3. Authenticate: For security purposes, Siri will not read your password aloud. Instead, Siri will open the Passwords & Accounts section in Settings.
  4. Bypass the Security Prompt: Authenticate using Face ID, Touch ID, or your device passcode.
  5. View or Copy the Credentials: Once authenticated, iOS will take you directly to the specific login entry or the full password list, where you can view your username and tap on the hidden password field to copy it.
