Saving (and generating) passwords in iOS Safari

Recently I had been finding saving and recalling passwords in iOS Safari more convenient than the password manager I’ve been using for several years.

It still works fine for suppling established password. But it has stopped saving passwords, so I am having to resort to my password manager. It has also stopped suggesting new passwords when they are required.

Suggestions as to why this has happened and how it could be fixed would be appreciated.

iPad, iOS 13

If behaviour has changed, then I'd first suggest a forced restart of your iPad as this often resolves isolated issues:

Next, ensure that your KeyChain is fully enabled:

Settings > [Your Name / AppleID] > iCloud > KeyChain > On

Settings > Passwords & Accounts > Autofill Passwords > Enabled

Settings > Passwords & Accounts > Autofill Passwords > iCloud - ticked
