Saving a Student's Google Password on the iPad

Created by Derek Hammerstein, Modified on Fri, 23 Aug at 9:22 AM by Derek Hammerstein

Most of the apps we use require the student's Google login information to get in. Having to remember this and type it in each time is a big time sink, and can be very frustrating! Here are the steps to have your students save that login information so they only have to click a button to login each time:


  1. Open the Settings app on the iPad.
  2. On the left side, scroll down a bit to Passwords and select it.
  3. On the right side, select Password Options.
  4. Make sure that AutoFill Passwords and Passkeys and Keychain are turned on (Green). If they are not, please tap the switch to turn them on.
  5. Tap the < Passwords button at the top to go back to the previous screen.
  6. At the top right, tap the + icon next to the Edit button.
  7. In the Add Password prompt that comes up, type google.com in the Website field. No need for any www. or anything else.
  8. In the User Name and Password fields, enter the student's email address (user@students.goshenschools.org) and password (Gc$##ID##).
  9. Tap Done at the top right and then press the Home button on the iPad.


You are all done! The next time a Google login is required, a blue button will appear that allows the student to just tap to auto-enter the username and password to login.
