How to Recover Passwords Missing After iOS 18.1.1 Update?

This change in Passwords is ridiculous. They always make things more complicated rather than convenient. I still can't find it!

Okay.. but what happens to all of the stored passwords? If i download the app again.. do i have to start over with new passwords?

Well that's absolutely ridiculous!!!! Who has ever said it's so inconvenient for my passwords to automatically fill in??? Quit touching things that don't need to be screwed with!!!

In iOS 18, the Passwords section in Settings was replaced by a brand new application: Passwords. If this app was removed from your device, download it again: App Store - Passwords.

Thank you! I downloaded Passwords from the App Store.. and all my passwords are back! It was so simple! Thank you!

How is this more “secure”? hate it. I actually accidentally did the update, I prefer to wait a few months (or years) until all the bugs are worked out. Unfortunately this is bigger than a bug it’s more of a female dog.

What happened to notes that were stored with passwords? So much info is gone.

Bad enough passwords moved but after finding them, they don’t automatically populate in apps. I can’t even copy/paste… WTH?!

What craziness must I do to get the passwords to associate automatically to the app it belongs to?!

(Updates should make things better not completely change important things that did not need to be messed with!!!! Dang!!!)

Passwords are now stored in an app called Passwords. Look for it on your homescreens

They were moved to General under autofill passwords. The icon is called passkeys. So inconvenient!!

Here is the direct link to download Apple Passwords: App Store - Passwords.

Where has the passwords in settings gone?

Stop making user unfriendly changes for crying out loud.

Apple caused me a lot of anguish with this change... Why do Apple do these changes without any warning?

Hmmm, let's see, Apple announced iOS 18 last June. They held a big conference, which was recorded and distributed to just about every website out there. And in that conference, they discussed the changes coming in iOS 18, including the passwords app. Then they put on their website a link about iOS 18, which talked about the new Passwords app. Then when iOS was officially released, just like with EVERY iOS update, bug or small, on the update page, they listed what's new in the release notes, which mentioned the Passwords app. You can't suggest Apple makes changes without any warning. You can say, you didn't do any research on what's new and that Omar, is ALL on you.
