If you go to Safari settings under Passwords you can see all your logins and passwords saved. But it shows the passwords as plain text. Isn't that a security issue? Even on Mac you have to authenticate first. Can't they show them as dots until you click on them or something. Maybe it just hasn't been implemented into the beta yet?
Got a tip for us?

Why does it show saved passwords in plain text in Settings?

If you have a passcode set, you are required to enter it before you can see the passwords.

Wow, that is actually rather horrifying. I don't want to set a passcode just to protect passwords found in a setting the I will never view, but I don't want people to have easy access to that info
I guess turning off passwords & autofill is the way to go.
That's a bit disappointing. You should be able to set a master password to view that kind of information.

I guess we have the same problem...

It really might just be a beta glitch. I hope. It would make more sense to set a different password for iCloud keychain and locking the phone.
Actually a fingerprint reader would come in handy here.
