Passwords etc are not stored on an iPhone/iPad by default, they are stored on the iCloud.

So when you change any device, do not use the same Password on your new device, change it.

Same with your Apple password and all the others, change them all.


Not everybody uses iCloud, I have an iPad that has never been signed in to apple, it stores passwords if I ask it to.
Not everyone uses their device in the same way, or for the same purpose

I did write “by default”.

You have to “opt in” to saving passwords on an iPad/iPhone

if you go into settings and it automatically connects to your wifi, you can click on the blue i button next to you wifi details, there is an option to “forget this network” click on it and it won’t automatically connect.
