Tangentially related, something that has slightly inconvenienced me a few times: Can someone point me to a setting to get Siri to show me my passwords again, on iOS 16?

Before, I could ask on an unlocked phone to “show me my password for GitHub” and Siri would open the settings app with the password list and show the GH credentials. Now (since iOS 16?) Siri just refuses to do any request that contains ‘password’.

You mean Shortcuts? You can have it open this URL:

prefs:root=PASSWORDS

You'll want to set up Siri separately as part of it, but you can definitely do that with Shortcuts.

Interesting, thanks!

What I described didn’t need a shortcut before. It was a vanilla iOS feature. I assume it went away for privacy reasons with one of the OS updates. And hoped there’d be a setting to get it back.
