Where were those passwords stored exactly?


If you are referring to passwords stored in iCloud Keychain, logging into another iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch or Mac with the iCloud / Apple ID from old iPhone would let you access those passwords.


See here: Set up iCloud Keychain - Apple Support


If you were storing them in some third party App, then that would depend on how the app saves those passwords.
