‘Passwords App’ not changing to new password?

When the new Passwords App came out a few IOS updates ago for both iphone and ipad, one of my apps had i weak password and they suggested changing it. I did and the new password worked right away… HOWEVER…

the new Passwords App still showed my old password on its screen. Nothing i did would get rid of the old password in the new Passwords app… until an Apple Support advisor suggested I go into the Passwords App, find the app that was not showing the changed password and click on it, and then press the ‘edit’ button in the top right corner. Doing this allowed me to simply take my finger and place the cursor on the ‘old password’, erase it with the backstroke key, and then type in the new password.

Now the new and correct password is showing and i can get rid of the piece of paper that i scribbled my new password on. So simple a solution…hope this helps some others.
