Let's give some positive advice instead of questions. We already worked out you have iphone XR with a recent iOS (settings , passwords & accounts went years ago!)

So passwords..

Perhaps try Passwords. (App) When it opens, see

if you can enter first category, ALL. Then use the

'Plus' (a small icon, on my XR iPhone) ~ as that

should open further, to allow a choice.


This process should allow you to continue to add

more Passwords to items in your XR. Other steps

may be required; while I'm new to this. I'd had to

add household utility accounts, manually before.


And there may be other steps; been a few weeks

since my first foray into using Passwords in XR.


So this should allow you to get a few steps ahead.

there for other access ideas, helped to find more.

You may get better and prompt responses if you may kindly provide the iPhone Model that you have and the iOS version if it is known to you and re-post.



With the limited information that you have provided, It is hard to even guess the problems faced by you.
