How to Generate a Strong Password on Your iPhone System Requirements This tip was tested on an iPhone 16 running iOS 26, but the screenshots show iOS 18 in order to preserve visibility of passwords. Find out how to update to the latest version of iOS. If you're on an older version of iOS, you'll want to head over to the Settings app and tap Passwords.

Here's how to generate a password on iPhone: - On your iPhone, open the Passwords app.
