How to Enable/Disable AutoFill Passwords on iPhone 14

This post will walk you through turning the iPhone 14 auto-fill passwords function on or off through the iOS 16 settings menu. Here’s a quick guide to enable/disable autofill passwords on the iPhone 14 series.

When to Disable AutoFill Passwords on your iPhone?

Turning AutoFill Passwords on can give you benefits, particularly quick and easy logins or site access. However, there may be certain instances when autofills result in some issues like login failures due to outdated or invalid credentials. This is usually the case when you’ve updated or changed a password for your account and your iPhone still uses the old password from its cache. As a result, login errors occur and you’re unable to access your account or website. To fix the problem, you’ll have to delete the auto-filled password information then manually type in the new (updated) password.

If you don’t want to be bothered with these types of issues and prefer to manually enter passwords every time you access your account, an app or website, then disabling autofill passwords on your iPhone would be a better option.

Just repeat the above steps to head back to your iPhone’s Passwords menu where you can turn off the AutoFill Passwords function.

With this feature disabled, you would need to enter the correct password for every sign in attempt you’ll make in the future.

You can always adjust this setting if ever you change your mind and use your iPhone’s password autofill again.

And that’s how you configure the iPhone 14 settings to enable or disable autofill passwords when attempting to access protected websites, accounts, and services.
