[QUOTE="Ink, post: 742716, member: 3"] iTunes (available for Windows and macOS) can provide a full, complete backup of your iOS device. You can optionally password-protect the backup as a security measure. An iCloud backup gathers data stored on your iPhone is stored "in the cloud", under your iCloud account. iCloud storage is easily consumed by your Photos (if enabled), Drive (Pages, Numbers etc.) and some Chat app backups (ie. WhatsApp messages, photos and video). Which password management solution do you use? (ie. 1Password, Bitwarden, LastPass, Apple's own Keychain). Is this the Authenticator app?
