  1. Open the Safari app on your Mac.
  2. Click Safari in the menu bar.
  3. Select Settings from the drop-down menu.
  4. Click Autofill.
  5. Next to Credit cards, click the Edit… button.
  6. Enter your Apple ID password, when prompted.
  7. In the bottom right corner, click the + button.
  8. Enter the following pieces of information:

  1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
  2. Scroll down and tap on Safari.
  3. Under the General section, tap AutoFill.
  4. Tap Saved Credit Cards.
  5. Authenticate using Face ID, Touch ID, or your iPhone’s passcode.
  6. Under Safari, tap Add Credit Card.
  7. Enter the following pieces of information:
    1. Name
    2. Card Number
    3. Expiration
    4. Security Code
    5. Description.
  8. Tap Done in the top right corner.

Another option that you have if you are want to add credit cards to iCloud Keychain on an iPhone is to use the camera. There’s a Use Camera button at the top of the Add Credit Card page, which uses your iPhone’s camera to scan the front and back of the card. Just tap that button, and follow the on-screen instructions to add a credit card to iCloud Keychain.

How to Edit Credit Cards in iCloud Keychain

Considering that Apple’s decision to have your security or CVV codes saved in iCloud Keychain is a new feature, you might want to go update your information. The steps are essentially the same for the iPhone, iPad, and Mac, but with a couple of differences.

From the Mac:

  1. Open the Safari app on your Mac.
  2. Click Safari in the menu bar.
  3. Select Settings from the drop-down menu.
  4. Click Autofill.
  5. Next to Credit cards, click the Edit… button.
  6. Enter your Apple ID password, when prompted.
  7. Highlight the card that you want to edit.
  8. Change any of the information you need to, while also adding the Security Code.
  9. Click the Done button in the bottom right corner.

From the iPhone or iPad:

  1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
  2. Scroll down and tap on Safari.
  3. Under the General section, tap AutoFill.
  4. Tap Saved Credit Cards.
  5. Authenticate using Face ID, Touch ID, or your iPhone’s passcode.
  6. Under Safari, select the credit card that you want to update.
  7. Tap the Edit button in the top right corner.
  8. Change any of the information you need to, while also adding the Security Code.
  9. Tap the Done button in the top right corner.
