If you delete a password from your iPad, you have 30 days to recover the password before it’s permanently deleted. You just find the account for the deleted password in the Passwords app and recover it, and the password is added back to your iPad and iCloud Keychain.

Go to the Passwords app on your iPad.
Tap Deleted.
Locate the account for the deleted password and tap the account.
Tap Recover.

If you previously shared the password with a group, choose one of the following:
- Recover to Group: Resume sharing the password with the group.
- Recover and Stop Sharing: Stop sharing the password with the group.
