"... seen iCloud encryption get busted"? I don't think so: social engineering is not 'busting encryption'.
Got a tip for us?

Because everything else is there… but you’re right. Why would someone think ;D
The difference being that everything else in the Settings app is a setting or info about the phone. The password manager is the odd one out.

That sounds painful, because as you change passwords you have to keep them synced.
It only take minute to update both password manager with new password. It not painful. I don’t need change password often.
When I change a password in my 1password app, iCloud Keychain detects this and syncs the change as well, so the process is pretty seamless.

I count images as documents, eg in 1Password I uploaded an image of my passport
I would too but @Mr. Heckles has given me second thoughts with his daughter’s experience
That was a pain. I was so glad I have stuff separated, and she does the same.
The passwords themselves are still encrypted and my master password is extremely strong. Nothing stored in plaintext is a concern of mine. If you can link to an article explaining how my LastPass data could be decrypted please share.
"hackers made off with a copy of a backup of customer password vaults as well as encryption keys for at least some of them."
LastPass goes independent over a year after serious breaches
Can LastPass regain user trust?

Where?
Edit: Ah, I see, you mean a notes section within a particular saved 'login password'.
I thought you meant a separate 'secure notes' section. I guess that feature is in the 'notes' app.
My master password is set to 600,000 iterations and therefor was not affected by the breach which the article suggests affected only those less than 5,000 which would have been very weak security."hackers made off with a copy of a backup of customer password vaults as well as encryption keys for at least some of them."

Lastpass works well for me and my family but I'm not a fanboy and would be willing to change. The new Apple solution would have to include some sort of Safari plugin for older versions of MacOS. I'm not about to spend £1,200 to replace my Macbook Pro just so I can save £12 a year on a password manager subscription.
You please yourself, and I'm not here to change your mind. But your original question pertained to how encrypted data could be affected and I shared a link on that topic. I wasn't aware you wanted evidence for your individual scenario.
Yes this is what I like. I like for the passwords to still be in settings app but Im not sure if it is now that they have a new separate app called passwords app.
Because now its a whole new app that is by itself which will take up space in your phone. I like it under settings>passwords its way easier that way
