It was NOT automaticity downloaded. There was not an instruction to do so anywhere, or that passwords were moved. You're right, it a seperate Apple app download. Been struggling to access through General/password/passcode area. Why in the world would it be a separate download in App Store? Apple, not cool!

There are no passwords there I had to ask Siri to find my passwords, but still can’t figure out where she accessed them


Here is a guide around how to use the Passwords app on an iPhone with iOS 18:


Use passwords on iPhone - Apple Support


The icon for the Passwords app looks like this:


Here is the guide page for finding an existing password:


Find your password for a website or app on iPhone - Apple Support


There are other sections for the Passwords app in the table of contents for the guide:



Again, this is all in the (new) Passwords app, and not the list that was formerly available in the Settings app.


Select All Passwords, and view what is included.


If you're not using iCloud Keychain already, consider enabling that, too.


Set up iCloud Keychain - Apple Support


iCloud Keychain will allow your passwords to be available across and synchronized across all devices logged into the same Apple Account.

Passwords missing on the 18.1.1 help


I can interpret that in at least three ways. Questions of few words can be ambiguous, unfortunately.


Not sure if it’s the help you can’t find, or it’s the app mis, or if some passwords are missing…


If you can’t find the Passwords app, turn off Screen Time and turn off Focus, and check again.
