iOS saving app logins after turning off keychain and signing out of iCloud.

Factory reset my iPhone and used a new iCloud account, yet I download an app and it is signed into an account that was saved on my other Apple ID. This seems like a major security flaw and privacy concern. I’ve checked every setting to confirm this information should NOT be backed up and it still is.

IOS Saves Credentials for Deleted Apps If I delete an app from my phone and then reinstall it the app will log me in with my previous credentials automatically, meaning the app information was never fully deleted from my phone. That behavior seems to contradict what iOS says when you delete an app - "Deleting "[app]" will also delete all of its documents and data. This action can't be undone." I deleted this app literally years ago and yet installing it today I see that after all this time it still logged me into my old account that was connected to the app way back then. Regardless of how the app is designed, why is iPhone saving data for an app that was deleted, even after multiple restarts and multiple years later? Worth mentioning that I do not use iCloud whatsoever and nothing should be synced anywhere. Also, this credential is NOT stored in the password vault/manager.

How do I force sign out for Apple Apps that use an old Apple ID? Hi, In the early days of Apple IDs, I created one that I don't have the password for anymore. Have since created a new AppleID and I have kept better track of that password. This old AppleID was used on devices I no longer have and on Apple apps running on newer devices. As far as I remember, all of these old devices have been destroyed. Some apps on the newer devices use the old Apple ID. So I need to know is how to find Apple apps among my various newer Apple devices that use that old Apple ID. Then I need sign to them out of Apple's ecosystem without signing into these apps. How do I do that? Thanks

Apps can save passwords, separately from the Keychain. In fact, most do.
