Cannot find passwords in system settings anymore…

Passwords saved in your keychain are no longer accessed from device settings. For iOS/iPadOS18, saved Passwords and account credentials are now accessed using the new Apple Passwords App; when you updated to iOS/iPadOS18, this new App will have been automatically installed on your device.

The iPad User Guide is a rich (and often overlooked) source of information about your iPad and iPadOS. Here is direct link to the relevant section of the Guide:

The Tips App, installed by default on all new models of iPad, provides a brief introduction - and leads you to the User Guide. In case you missed it, here is a link to the Tips App:

Is there no other options for passwords now? How is this app more secure? It seems easy that someone can pick up my devices and easily get all my passwords now. Can we undo this update? Very frustrating to have changes like this that are so important and makes me feel so insecure. First time ever I am not liking IOS.

The new iPadOS 18 Passwords App is no less secure than accessing your Passwords from iPad settings - as found in earlier versions of iPadOS. In fact, the iOS/iPadOS Passwords App is actually more secure - as it is now possible to only allow access to saved credentials by forcing use of biometric authentication.

iOS 18, find the passwords app on your device.
