Among the many new features in iOS 12 including things like the ability toscan QR codesdirectly from the Control Center, and theOTP autofillfeature, another really cool one has just come to our attention.

Sharing passwords is now easier than ever on your iPhone or iPad. You can now share passwords by just using AirDrop. This will let you share the password to any iOS or macOS device near you.

How to Share Passwords with AirDrop in iOS 12

To share a password using AirDrop in iOS 12, just follow the steps below:

Now you can just select the iOS or macOS device with which you want to share the password, and that’s it!

The receiver can then simply add the password to their own Passwords & Accounts.

While this will not come in handy if you’re trying to share your WiFi password with another iOS or macOS user, but it sure can come in handy if you need to send your password to another device that you’re trying to log in on. Especially if you’re as forgetful about these things as I am.
