It’s no secret that smart phones have literally changed the way most of us live our lives.

Q&A: How can I view a saved password on my iPhone?

Posted on June 16, 2026

Question from Ronnie:  I have a question about Safari on my iPhone.

I have an account with an online service (I’d rather not say what it is) that I’ve been accessing for over a year with my iPhone.

I just bought a new laptop and I want to start accessing that account on it instead of my iPhone.

The problem is I can’t remember the password because Safari has been automatically filling it in for me.

Question from Gwen:  I installed a kid’s game on my iPhone that teaches the child how to do basic math in order to solve a series of mysteries.

The recommended age range for the game is 4 to 6.

My daughter turned 4 a couple of months ago so I believe she should be able to successfully play the game.

The thing is I don’t want her to be able to do anything with the phone except use this one app. Is it possible to set it up this way?
