How to restore missing Passwords Manager in Safari Settings after macOS Tahoe 26.2 update?

I have just updated my MacBook Pro to Tahoe 26.2 and now the Passwords Manager has disappeared from Safari Settings. Any ideas on how to get them back. Thanks.

You go to Safari > Settings > AutoFill, and under User Names and Passwords, choose Edit and it will open the Passwords app. There is no longer a separate Password tab in Safari as the content was just a duplicate of the Passwords stored in the Password App.


The change was made in Safari 26 and not specific to Tahoe as the same version of Safari without the Passwords tab is also available on Sequoia. I have 2 machines on Sequoia, one with Safari 26.1 and the other with Safari 26.2, where the Passwords tab in Safari Settings has been removed.
