Presumably you have just updated to iPadOS 18.x.


Passwords saved in your keychain are no longer accessed from device settings. For iOS/iPadOS18, saved Passwords and account credentials are now accessed using the new Apple Passwords App; when you updated to iOS/iPadOS18, this new App will have been automatically installed on your device.
