iPad question

All of a sudden my iPad does not remember logins and passwords. They are properly listed in the appropriate section of Settings. Furthermore, Firefox on the iPad doesn’t seem to be remembering them either. There have been no major operations done on the iPad recently. Has anyone ever experienced this? The iPad is the version that was the current one when purchased about a year ago, and it is running iPadOS.

Happened to my Apple devices as well.
Sometimes due long time no using or sometimes just out of nowhere.
If you don’t keep the passwords in one app such 1password or a kind you need to type again.
Also websites has a limited time the storage password option maybe, not sure about that.
Some time ago someone recommended one app that I still haven’t installed but still I want for this thing precisely :)

It's Apple's way of telling you that you need to buy a new device.

No, it is Apple’s way of keeping you in full control. I think my problem stems from their password saver only working in conjunction with their own crappy browser. They seem to somehow block passwords saved in Firefox (even when these have been saved in Firefox as well as in the iOS settings).

LOL! Full control would be Linux.

I have an Intel-based Mac Pro that Apple has desupported. But the latest version of Windows works fine on it. Good luck with 'having control'! I'm done with Apple.
