Placing passwords in the wrong place is one of the reasons why people forget their passwords. According to research by Bit warden, 59% of people save passwords in their memory. However, our bad memory always makes it difficult to remember the passwords that we don't use often. 33% of people save their passwords on paper. But the paper may get damaged or lost. So what's the best way to save passwords? How to manage them?

Urged by these questions, we compile a list of common iPad password management tips, ranging from the steps to save iPad passwords to finding and exporting passwords from the iPad.

Then the next time when you enter that website it will auto-fill the saved credential. Here's how to use the AutoFill feature.

Step 2. Scroll down to find "Passwords & Accounts," tap it to enter a new page.
