Simple question I hope.

I have been using Chrome for a good while, and recently made default Safari. Upon doing this a prompt asking if I would like to sync passwords came up. I accepted. My question is this. Does Safari itself hold these synced passwords, or do this syncing take place in the system-wide password management that then all iOS devices use when passwords are synced among them?

Everything will be stored in iCloud Keychain and synced between devices and also available to apps which use the API.

I was hoping that would be the case.

Thank you.
 
If you use an iPhone or iPad logged into the same Apple ID with iCloud Keychain syncing turned on, you'll see the same passwords there as well. You'll also have bookarks, tabs and tab groups synced, which is massively helpful.
