macOS 12 Monterey为 Safari 的内置密码管理器带来了多项更新。它具有流线型的用户界面,并提供了新功能,例如导出和导入密码、创建安全笔记和自动生成两因素身份验证代码。
它也可以在Safari之外访问,如果您想在不打开浏览器的情况下查找密码,它是完美的选择。如果您升级到 macOS Monterey 或更高版本(upgraded to macOS Monterey or later),请继续阅读以了解有关在Mac上使用新密码管理器的所有信息。
打开新密码管理器
在 macOS Monterey中,您可以像以前一样通过浏览器首选项访问 Safari 的密码管理器。只需(Just)选择菜单栏上的Safari > Preferences,然后切换到密码(Passwords)选项卡。并输入您的Mac用户帐户密码或使用 Touch ID。
或者,您可以在不启动Safari的情况下打开它。为此,请打开Apple菜单并选择System Preferences。然后,选择标有密码的类别。
获得新密码管理器的更快方法是按住 Control 键单击(Control-click)Mac Dock上的System Preferences图标,然后选择Passwords。
查看和复制密码
无论您是通过Safari还是通过System Preferences打开新密码管理器,它的外观都是一样的。左窗格按字母顺序列出所有保存的登录凭据,顶部
有一个搜索框,可帮助您更快地找到特定条目。(Search)
选择(Select)一个条目以查看相关详细信息,例如用户名、密码(将光标悬停在密码(Password)字段上以取消隐藏)和注释。按住 Control 键单击该条目还将显示可用于将数据复制到 Mac 剪贴板的上下文操作。但是,当您使用Safari时,您始终可以让它自动为您填写它们。
如果您有易于猜测、重复使用或泄露的密码(Apple会定期对已知数据泄露进行交叉检查),您会在列表顶部看到它们。最好尽快更新它们。
添加和删除密码
尽管Safari允许您在第一次创建或填写密码时保存密码,但您始终可以使用密码管理器将密码直接添加到Apple Keychain中。为此,请选择窗口右下方的加号按钮,填写(Plus)网站(Website)、用户名(User Name)和密码(Password)字段,然后选择添加密码(Add Password)。
同样,您可能还会在 Safari 中遇到过时的密码或“从不保存”条目(Never Saved” entries in Safari),您可能希望将其删除。为此,只需突出显示左侧窗格中的条目并选择减号(Minus)按钮。如果您使用iCloud 钥匙串(iCloud Keychain),您删除的任何密码也会从您拥有的其他Apple设备上消失。
编辑密码并添加注释
(Edit)使用 macOS Monterey(Monterey)中的新密码管理器编辑密码既快捷又简单。选择一个条目后,选择窗口右上角的编辑按钮以打开(Edit)更新帐户信息(Update Account Information)窗格。然后,进行更改并选择Save。或者,访问该站点并使用新密码登录,然后请求Safari为您更新密码。
编辑密码时,您还可以将基于文本的安全注释添加到“注释(Notes)”字段中。例如,您可以输入安全问题的答案、备用代码列表、在网站上创建帐户的目的(以防您以后忘记)等。
此外,输入设置密钥(Enter Setup Key)按钮允许您为站点添加两因素设置密钥。您将在下面进一步了解更多信息。
导入和导出密码
如果您想备份您的密码或将它们传输到不同的密码管理器(back up your passwords or transfer them to a different password manager),您可以选择将它们导出为CSV(逗号分隔值)文件格式。为此,请选择密码管理器窗口左下角的更多图标(三个点),选择导出所有密码(Export All Passwords),然后指定存储位置。
相反,您可以选择将密码从CSV文件导入Apple Keychain。再次(Again),选择更多图标,但选择标记为导入密码(Import Passwords)的选项。
生成两因素验证码(Generate Two-Factor Authentication Codes)
macOS Monterey(Monterey)中的新密码管理器可以作为双重身份验证器,在Safari中生成和自动填充验证码。每当(Whenever)您尝试在Safari中为网站或服务设置 2FA 身份验证(set up 2FA authentication for a website or service)时,请按住 Control 单击(Control-click)或右键单击屏幕上的二维码,然后选择设置验证码(Set Up Verification Code)。
这将提示 Safari 的密码管理器通过浏览器首选项自动显示。只需(Just)选择站点的相关登录条目,然后选择添加验证码(Add Verification Code)。
然后,您可以通过自动填写密码管理器为您生成的 2FA 验证码来继续网站上的验证过程。它将在尝试登录该站点时继续自动填充验证码。
即使使用不同的浏览器或应用程序,您也可以为站点设置双重身份验证。查看二维码时,只需寻找无法扫描代码之类的选项?显示 2FA 设置密钥 - 将其复制到剪贴板。然后,通过System Preferences(System Preferences)打开密码管理器,选择站点密码(如果不存在,请手动添加),选择Enter Security Key,然后粘贴设置密钥。
密码管理器将立即开始显示验证码,您可以复制并粘贴以完成验证过程。重新访问密码管理器并选择密码条目,以便在以后的登录尝试中获取该站点的 2FA 代码。
包起来
Safari 在 macOS Monterey中的新密码管理器是一项重大改进,但它仍然缺少专用的第三方密码管理应用程序。如果您想要更多,请考虑切换到1Password、LastPass 和 Dashlane(1Password, LastPass, and Dashlane),或者掌握 Keychain Access(get to grips with Keychain Access)。
How to Use 2FA and The New Password Manager in macOS Monterey
macOS 12 Monterey brings several updates to Safari’s built-in password manager. It sports a streamlined user interface and prоvides new features like exporting and impоrting pаsswords, creating secure notes, and aυto-generating two-factor authentication codeѕ.
It’s also accessible outside of Safari, making it perfect if you want to look up a password without opening the browser. If you upgraded to macOS Monterey or later, read on to learn everything you need to know about using the new password manager on your Mac.
Open the New Password Manager
In macOS Monterey, you can access Safari’s password manager as you did before via the browser preferences. Just select Safari > Preferences on the menu bar and switch to the Passwords tab. and enter your Mac user account password or use Touch ID.
Alternatively, you can open it without launching Safari. To do that, open the Apple menu and choose System Preferences. Then, select the category labeled Passwords.
An even faster way to get to the new password manager is to Control-click the System Preferences icon on the Mac’s Dock and select Passwords.
View and Copy Passwords
The new password manager appears the same regardless of whether you open it via Safari or the System Preferences. The left pane lists all saved login credentials in alphabetical order, with a Search box at the top to help you locate specific entries faster.
Select an entry to view relevant details such as the username, password (hover the cursor over the Password field to unhide it), and notes. Control-clicking the entry will also reveal contextual actions you can use to copy the data to your Mac’s clipboard. However, when you use Safari, you can always have it fill them in for you automatically.
If you have easy-to-guess, reused, or compromised passwords (Apple regularly cross-checks them against known data breaches), you will see them at the top of the list. It’s best to update them as soon as possible.
Add and Remove Passwords
Although Safari lets you save passwords whenever you create or fill them in the first time, you can always use the password manager to add passwords directly to Apple Keychain. To do that, select the Plus button at the bottom right of the windows, fill in the Website, User Name, and Password fields, and select Add Password.
Likewise, you may also come across obsolete passwords or “Never Saved” entries in Safari that you may want to remove. To do that, just highlight the entry on the left pane and select the Minus button. If you use iCloud Keychain, any passwords you remove will also disappear from other Apple devices you own.
Edit Passwords and Add Notes
Editing passwords with the new password manager in macOS Monterey is quick and straightforward. After picking an entry, select the Edit button at the top-right of the window to bring up the Update Account Information pane. Then, make your changes and select Save. Or, visit the site and log in with the new password, and request Safari to update it for you.
When editing passwords, you also have the opportunity to add secure text-based notes into the Notes field. For example, you can type in answers to security questions, a list of backup codes, the purpose for creating an account with the website (in case you forget that later), etc.
Additionally, the Enter Setup Key button allows you to add the two-factor setup key for a site. You will learn more about that further below.
Import and Export Passwords
If you want to back up your passwords or transfer them to a different password manager, you have the option of exporting them to the CSV (comma-separated values) file format. To do that, select the More icon (three dots) at the bottom left corner of the password manager window, select Export All Passwords, and specify a storage location.
Conversely, you can choose to import passwords from CSV files into Apple Keychain. Again, select the More icon, but pick the option labeled Import Passwords instead.
Generate Two-Factor Authentication Codes
The new password manager in macOS Monterey can work as a two-factor authenticator, generating and auto-filling verification codes in Safari. Whenever you attempt to set up 2FA authentication for a website or service in Safari, Control-click or right-click the QR code on the screen and select Set Up Verification Code.
That will prompt Safari’s password manager to automatically show up via the browser preferences. Just choose the relevant login entry for the site and select Add Verification Code.
You can then proceed with the verification process on the site by auto-filling the 2FA verification code that the password manager generates for you. It will continue to auto-fill verification codes while attempting to log into the site going forward.
You can also set up two-factor authentication for a site even when using a different browser or app. While viewing the QR code, just look for an option like Can’t scan code? to reveal a 2FA setup key—copy it to your clipboard. Then, open the password manager via System Preferences, select the password for the site (manually add it if it isn’t present), select Enter Security Key, and paste the setup key.
The password manager will immediately start displaying a verification code you can copy and paste to complete the verification process. Revisit the password manager and select the password entry to obtain 2FA codes for the site in future sign-in attempts.
Wrapping Up
Safari’s new password manager in macOS Monterey is a significant improvement, but it still falls short of dedicated third-party password management apps. If you want more, consider switching to 1Password, LastPass, and Dashlane, or get to grips with Keychain Access.
