Backups/Encryption/iTunes/iCloud

Have a new 12 Max Pro (not listed in the form below) and an older iPhone.

  1. When I backup to iCloud, does it save all data to include that which would be backed-up if I use encryption with iTunes back-up? I don't see an option to use encryption for iCloud backup.
  2. If I use iTunes for 2 different phones, will it apply the same encryption password to both phones?
  3. What is the best practice to keep/store these passwords?


Thanks!

iPhone 11 Pro Max

iCloud backup doesn’t include information that is synced and stored in iCloud, like Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks, Mail, Notes, Voice MemosMessages*, shared photosiCloud Photos*, Health data, call history, and files you store in iCloud Drive.


*-If you had turned on Messages in iCloudiCloud Photos, your content is automatically stored in iCloud.
