iCloud Keychain

iCloud Keychain keeps your website user names and passwords, and credit card information that
you set up with Safari, up to date on iPod touch and your other designated iOS devices and Macs
running OS X Mavericks.

iCloud Keychain works with Safari Password Generator and AutoFill. When you’re setting up a
new account, Safari Password Generator suggests unique, hard-to-guess passwords. You can use
AutoFill to have iPod touch enter your user name and password info, making login easy. See

Fill

in forms

on page 48.

Note: Some websites do not support AutoFill.

iCloud Keychain works on all your approved iOS 7 devices and Macs running OS X Mavericks.
iCloud Keychain is secured with 256-bit AES encryption during storage and transmission, and
cannot be read by Apple.
Set up iCloud Keychain. Go to Settings > iCloud > Keychain. Turn on iCloud Keychain and
follow the onscreen instructions. If you’ve set up iCloud Keychain on other devices, you need to
approve the use of iCloud Keychain from one of those devices, or use your iCloud Security Code.

Important:

If you forget your security code, you’ll have to start over and set up your iCloud

Keychain again.
Set up AutoFill. Go to Settings > Safari > Passwords & AutoFill. Make sure Names and Passwords,
and Credit Cards, are turned on (they’re on by default). To add credit card info, tap Saved
Credit Cards.
The security code for your credit card is not saved—you have to enter that manually.

To automatically fill in names, passwords, or credit card info on sites that support it, tap a text
field, then tap AutoFill.

To protect your personal information, set a passcode if you turn on iCloud Keychain and AutoFill.

Limit Ad Tracking

Restrict or reset Ad Tracking. Go to Settings > Privacy > Advertising. Turn on Limit Ad Tracking
to prevent apps from accessing your iPod touch advertising identifier. For more information, tap
Learn More.

Find My iPod touch

iPhone app (available in the App Store) on another iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad, or using a Mac
or PC web browser signed in to

Lock, which makes it more difficult for anyone to use or sell your iPod touch if you ever lose it.
Your Apple ID and password are required in order to turn off Find My iPod touch, or to erase and
reactivate your iPod touch.

Important:

To use these features, Find My iPod touch must be turned on before your iPod touch
