User level: Level 1 (11 points)Password App Passwords on 3rd-party devices.
I'm late to starting to use the security features in the Apple world. My question is "if the hard to remember automatically generated passwords are usable across your devices, what happens if you need to access your various accounts when using a 3rd-party device such as a friends computer or library computer? It is impossible to remember such random passwords'
TIA

You can't use your Passwords app on a non-Apple device. If you need to do it you will either have to open Passwords on your phone and type it in on the other machine or get a different password manager that works on multiple platforms. If you get another password manager you can export passwords from the Apple app in csv format so make sure that the password manager you choose can import in that format.
