edit passwords accross all browsers
Why did my password manager change to individual browsers? Chrome, Firefox, Safari doesn’t keep track of all of my passwords and I can’t view or delete old passwords

Thank you for responding! My issue is that I’ve suddenly been limited to 3 browsers and I have to guess which one has my most recent passwords! And if I’m using chrome then it shows me every password manager that I’ve ever used but it doesn’t allow me to view the details on the list so I can use the right one and I also can’t delete the old ones…see attached pictures

Open each password manager installed, export all passwords, and migrate all into one password manager.
That’s probably not going to be a small project, and it’ll require details of each password manager.
Try again.
Here is how to migrate into Passwords app and the Apple iCloud Keychain password manager:

Thanks for the advice…I wish I knew what caused it to happen in the first place! Because I have always used multiple browsers for certain websites and all of the passwords would be in the same password manager, but the way it is now…like the picture of the Verizon password manager doesn’t even let me view the options to find the most current one 🤬
By default, Firefox uses its own password storage.
Apple has available a Keychain extension for Firefox on macOS that allows Firefox to use the Apple Keychain mechanism for passwords. This extension was first made available at the end of 2024. I’m don’t know if there is an equivalent extension available for Firefox on iOS.
Whether you had (have) some third-party password manager also involved?
The 2024 date lines up, I have never used any other password manager because my phone has always automatically synced them regardless of the browser and then suddenly it started with (like in the picture) separating them by browser. And now I’m scared to sync the passwords on my windows laptop 🤬 I would have thought that Apple would have some kind of workaround but I can’t get an answer from them
With no disrespect intended, reportedly given multiple different browsers, given multiple password managers, and given a mix of Windows and Apple gear, and given uncertainties with which passwords are stored where, and with few (no?) passwords stored in the Apple Passwords app and Apple Keychain, what would you have anyone suggest?
I’d pick fewer browsers and fewer password managers, but that may well not fit your needs and requirements.
Chrome and Firefox have long used their own password managers.
Apple uses Keychain and the Passwords app, and that storage is available for all Apple and third-party apps that choose to use it.
See Settings > Auto-Fill and Passwords.
Configure to use iOS’s Passwords app.
