Hello robertcarr,
Apple Support Communities is a great place for help with backup questions, and we’re glad you were directed here from the Backup methods for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch article.
Backups are a great way to ensure your information is saved and recoverable. If you’re asking about application passwords such as third-party apps that require a login, and shown in Settings > Passwords on your device, or passwords used to log in to websites. Those would save in the iCloud backup if you’re not using iCloud Keychain. If you have iCloud Keychain enabled the passwords would sync to iCloud versus be saved in the iCloud backup. More information about what’s not included in a backup can be found in the related article. You can also find information about what’s included in an iCloud backup and how to set up iCloud keychain in the following articles.
Take care!
