9. Tap "Change Password on Website" to bring you to its webpage on Safari.
10. You can also tap "Edit" in the upper-left hand corner to remove the websites associated with the username and password. What this means is that the password will still be saved, but your iPhone won't associate it with any website. Tap the red minus symbol to the left of a website name to erase it. Most passwords are only linked to one website, but some - like university logins - may connect to multiple, similar pages.
