On iOS, my only password manager I've ever used is the built-in Apple one.

I just tapped the "search" field on the home screen, and typed "passw".

"Top Hit": A store link to the LastPass password manager (which I do not and have never used—the button has the text "get", it's not installed and doesn't have the cloud-icon for previously-installed apps)

From there, it's three suggested Siri web searches: "passwords", "password manager", and "password generator"

Then two safari-iconed links (I assume these would search with my default search engine in safari?): "passwords on iphone" and "passew"

Searching inside the "settings" app is only marginally better. It's all much, much worse than it was a few iOS releases ago.



I learned from this thread that you can actually disable all that. I did so and my spotlight searching sped up 10-fold and now I only get app results. So much better.
