Step 2: Check your iCloud Keychain
Make sure that iCloud Keychain is enabled by navigating to Settings > [Your Name] > iCloud > Keychain. Autofill passwords are stored in your iCloud Keychain. If it's off, switch it on and give it another go. For iCloud Keychain to function, you might also have to enter your Apple ID password.
Step 3: Ensure that your passwords are saved in iCloud Keychain
Visit Settings > Passwords & Accounts > Website & App Passwords to see if iCloud Keychain has saved your credentials. If your passwords are listed, iCloud Keychain has them saved. In the event that they aren't, make sure the passwords are kept in iCloud Keychain by turning on the functionality in your browser.
Step 4: Update your device
Verify that the iOS operating system on your iPhone or iPad is the most recent version. Check if there are any updates available by going to Settings > General > Software Update. Download and install the update if there is one.
Step 5: Clear cache and data
Any password autofill errors can be resolved by clearing the cache and data from your browser. Go to Settings > Safari > Clear History and Website Data to erase the cache and data. Your browsing history, cookies, and other website data will be deleted, but your stored passwords won't be removed.
Step 6: Reset your device's settings
The settings on your device may need to be reset in order to address password autofill issues. Reset all settings by going to Settings > General > Reset. All settings will be returned to their normal positions, but no data will be deleted.
