App Store bug or something
Any time I try to reinstall Voice memos or Passwords, it does not work. The ones from apple and in utilities DOES NOT WORK. Do I just need the App Store to download it or just give up?

Certain built-in apps such as Passwords cannot be deleted so it is somewhere on your device. It can be hidden* by you, or by an administrator if your device is managed by an education or business institution. In the latter case you need to contact the administrator.
See if you hid it with restrictions:

- "If you turn off an app or feature, it won’t delete it, it’s just temporarily hidden from your Home screen."
- Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > [Enter passcode] > Allowed Apps
- Settings > Screen Time, scroll down, then turn off "Share across Devices"
See if it is in your App Library -->

"Search for it ( Use Spotlight Search on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support ). Swipe down from the middle of any home screen and type the name of the app into the search field at the top of the screen. If it is in a folder, it will show the folder on the right of the app name after you tap on the app when it appears in the search."
"Reset the Home screen layout which will return the [app] to the home screen as long as it isn’t restricted. When you do this, it returns the home screen to out of the box condition and it will destroy any folders you had on the home screen. Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home screen layout."
