1. Where to Find Your Saved Passwords in iOS 18
In earlier versions of iOS, you could find your saved passwords by going to Settings and scrolling down to the Passwords section. However, with iOS 18, Apple introduced a dedicated Passwords app that appears on your home screen once you update your device.
