IOS – Enforce authentification (passcode, Touch ID, Face ID) for viewing saved passwords on iOS

iosiphonepassword

I have surprisingly realized that I can view all my (Safari) saved passwords on my iPhone under iOS 14.4 without having to type my passcode (again). This is problematic as for a regular user, it would be easy for somebody to steal all their saved passwords by just borrowing their phone to "make a call".

On macOS, if I want to view the saved passwords in Safari preferences, I have to type again my Mac password. Same for Chrome.

Is there a way to enforce this on iOS?

Thank you in advance for your answers!

In iOS 14, you can access saved passwords in Settings > Password.

If the iPhone has a Passcode and/or Touch ID enabled, access to passwords will require authentication, and Settings > Touch ID & Passcode will display "Require Passcode" as "immediately."
