- Launch the authentication portal for an online platform or application using any web-browsing tool such as Apple's default browser, Google's browsing software, or Mozilla’s internet navigator.
- Press the “Stored Access Details” button on the mobile device’s virtual keypad. Tap the small directional symbol or the lock emblem if it isn't visible. If Apple's credential storage tool appears at the bottom, choose the key-shaped icon on the lower-right side.
- Opt for Google’s browsing software and confirm authorization using facial recognition, fingerprint scanning, or the device’s secret code.
- Retrieve the saved access credentials for the chosen platform, enabling Google’s browser to populate the login fields automatically. You may also navigate through stored entries or utilize the search tool to locate a particular record.
