Norton Password Manager helps you access, manage, and secure your passwords and personal information - all the things you rely on for your most important online activities. Never again forget a user name or password - Norton Password Manager keeps your passwords synchronized across different browsers and mobile devices.
Data Vault is an iPhone password manager provided by Ascendo, which also offers a desktop version for Windows, MacOS, and more. One benefit to Data Vault is that you don’t have to pay a monthly subscription, just a one-time purchase for each device. A password manager is essentially an encrypted digital vault that stores secure password login information you use to access apps and accounts on your mobile device, websites and other services.
Norton Password Manager also has the following features that you can find handy:
The Mobile Unlock feature lets you unlock your Password Manager vault using a desktop browser by approving a notification on your mobile device instead of manually entering your vault password..
The Safety Dashboard feature in Norton Password Manager displays the health of the logins and passwords stored in the cloud vault.
You can quickly make strong passwords with different options (length, use of letters/numbers/symbols) using our Password Generator feature
Import passwords from supported sources including your browser (Chrome or 32-bit Firefox) or alternate password manager products (Dashlane, LastPass, and 1Password)
NortonLifeLock cannot see your passwords or sensitive data that you store using Norton Password Manager. The vault password you enter is immediately converted into a special numeric key value used to convert your vault data into encrypted formats.
The process of encrypting and decrypting your data is done using the industry-standard encryption technique. The password you enter is never stored or sent anywhere for anyone else to use - it is used only by the Norton Password Manager running on your device.
During an online-only WWDC event, Apple released the next generation of iOS update - iOS 14. When the company summarized iOS 14 features in a final slide, one change caught everyone's attention. Users can finally change the default browser and mail app on the iPhone. I have been looking forward to this feature for ages as it allows me to use the Chrome browser as default on the iPhone. If you are in the same boat as me, you should export and remove the old data such as history, bookmarks, and saved Safari's passwords on the iPhone.
It’s also an advisable routine to remove irrelevant saved passwords from the iPhone. iPhone, by default, uses iCloud Keychain to store all the login info that you add from the Safari browser or apps on iPhone and Mac. Suppose you are opting for another browser such as Chrome or Firefox on iPhone. In that case, you should use their native password management solutions such as Chrome Password manager and Firefox Lockwise for a smooth auto-fill experience on all connected devices.
You should also delete saved passwords from iPhone if you are planning to move from iCloud Keychain to an advanced third-party password manager such as 1Password, Enpass, or SafeInCloud.
In this post, we will talk about how to remove saved passwords from the iPhone. You can also perform the trick using the MacBook. Let’s get started.

Store Saved Passwords Somewhere Else
Before you delete saved passwords from the iPhone, you should move the login data to somewhere else. The App Store is filled with third-party password managers with a long list of features and cross-platform availability. Some of the popular names include Dashlane, 1Password, LastPass, Enpass, and SafeInCloud.
Coming to my personal preference, I recently made a switch from iCloud Keychain to 1Password. While the manual setup on 1Password hasn’t been hassle-free, the move allowed me to access, edit, and add passwords from all the platforms such as iOS, Windows, and Mac. I can also use my preferred web browser with a 1Password extension to autofill confidential information.
Third-party password management apps offer additional functions such as multiple vaults, vault sharing, password audit, custom password generator, Time-based One-Time Password (TOTP), easy access via native apps, wearable support, theme options, and more.

Starting with the iOS 12 update, Apple opened doors for third-party password managers on iPhone. Users can select the preferred password management app as the default way to autofill login info on websites and apps. Go through the steps below to change the default password manager on iPhone.
Step 1: Open the Settings app on the iPhone.
Step 2: Navigate to Passwords > AutoFill Passwords menu.
Step 3: Ensure that the AutoFill Passwords menu is enabled and select the preferred password manager from the menu below.
From now on, whenever you try to log in on any app or website, iOS will ask to autofill login info from the selected password manager.
