Losing track of passwords can be frustrating, but luckily there are a few ways to get all your passwords back on your iPhone. First, you can use the iCloud Keychain feature which stores your passwords across all your Apple devices. To access them on your iPhone, go to Settings > Passwords & Accounts > Website & App Passwords and enter your passcode or use Touch ID/Face ID to view your saved passwords.
Another way is to use a third-party password manager app like 1Password or LastPass. These apps store all your passwords in one secure location and allow you to access them across all your devices.
If you have previously exported your passwords from another browser, you can import them into iCloud Keychain or a password manager app. Alternatively, if you have saved your passwords to an external file or cloud storage, you can import them into a password manager app.
Overall, it’s important to regularly update and secure your passwords to protect your personal information. Using an iPhone password manager or iCloud Keychain can make it easy to keep track of all your passwords and keep them secure.

Why is my iPhone forgetting all my passwords?
There could be several reasons why your iPhone is forgetting your passwords. One possibility could be that there is an issue with your iCloud Keychain, which is responsible for storing and syncing your passwords across your Apple devices. Make sure that your iCloud Keychain is enabled and that your device is connected to a stable internet connection. Another possible reason could be that you have disabled the "AutoFill Passwords" feature in your device’s settings, which may cause your device to forget passwords over time. You can check this by going to "Settings" > "Passwords & Accounts" > "Autofill Passwords" and enabling the feature if it is turned off. If neither of these solutions work, you may need to reset your device’s network settings or perform a factory reset to resolve the issue. As a precaution, you should always ensure that you have backed up your device’s data before performing any troubleshooting steps.
How do I see all my saved passwords?
If you’re using an iPhone running iOS 16, you can easily view all your saved passwords through the Settings app. Simply navigate to Settings > Passwords > Website & App Passwords. You will be prompted to authenticate with either Face ID, Touch ID, or your device passcode. Once authenticated, you will see a list of all the saved passwords, categorized by website or app name. From there, you can choose to view, edit, or delete any of the saved passwords. It is important to note that for security reasons, if you have enabled iCloud Keychain, the passwords will be synced across all your devices that are logged in to the same iCloud account.
Can you recover old saved passwords?
As a tech blogger, I can say that it is possible to recover old saved passwords if you have access to the device or account where they were saved. If you’re using a password manager application, then you can easily retrieve your saved passwords by logging into your password manager account. Most web browsers also have a built-in password manager that you can use to manage and save your login credentials, and you can typically access saved passwords in the browser’s settings or preferences. However, if you have lost access to the device or account, then it may be difficult or impossible to retrieve old saved passwords. In such cases, you may need to reset your password or contact the relevant service provider for assistance.

Why are all my saved passwords gone?
There could be multiple reasons why your saved passwords are missing. One possible reason could be that there was a software update or glitch that caused your browser or password manager to reset.

It is also possible that the device itself experienced a hardware failure that disrupted access to your saved passwords. The best course of action would be to check if your passwords are also missing on other devices or platforms that you use, and to take steps to secure your accounts by changing your passwords where necessary and using two-factor authentication. Additionally, it is always recommended to regularly backup important data including passwords.
