Passwords are missing in Settings after iOS 18.1.1 update

With the recent 18.1.1 update, the passwords listing is no longer available. Where can I locate this on both my iPhone and iPad?? Apple is infuriating me. No time to troubleshoot all of the issues with this update!!

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.

First, you perhaps need to understand that is a user-to-user technical community. Contributors here are all end-users, just like you. Other than the site Moderators, Apple neither monitors nor participates within this Community. As such, your comments here will not be seen by Apple Support.

Presumably you have just updated to iOS/iPadOS 18.x.

I need to look up my passwords

You took that menu option out of Settings in the recent update along with many other infuriating updates to 18.1.1 which is truly insane and so frustrating


But I need to look up my passwords


Your answer to the community is that you claim that with the 18.1.1 update that it automatically updated a new app called something like Apple passwords app or Passwords app or something of that nature…


However no it did not do that on either my iPad or my iPhone


When I ask Siri to launch that app using the various terms of title that it might have Siri doesn't know what I'm talking about


So no I don't have the app that you claim that you automatically updated and added


And now no I do not have access to my Passwords?!???



WHY!?!?


Do you truly do this to make fun of us???

We are the most loyal customers on the planet!!!!


Why why why do you do this to us?
