In your old iPhone, did you use iCloud for backups and if you did then did you have iCloud Keychain set to ON? If YES then the passwords would have been saved to the Keychain and backed up to iCloud. Then the information would have transferred to your new iPhone once you logged in your Apple ID (iCloud account).

If you did not use iCloud then did you have an encrypted backup of your old iPhone on your computer? If YES then you could have restored from that encrypted backup and imported the passwords.
