    I have noticed that a few of my password have started to show as autocomplete results when typing sms, etc. This seems quite odd, as I've never typed up these in email. I have only used them in the password management apps (lastpass, blackberry). Anyone notice this or have a similar issue?

    How do I delete a predictive text from the library?

    Just out of curiosity, have you copy and pasted these passwords from your password manager into online forms, accounts, etc.? If so, there is a distinct possibility that the predictive text is reading the clipboard and seeing these passwords appear. That would be my most logical guess given that password databases are encrypted.

    Yes, I have definitely copied the password and pasted into a webform, and even some app passwords.

    I am not 100% sure, but this seems like the most logical way the predictive text function would be able to store your passwords. If there is another way, I really cannot think of it.

    EDIT: If you wish to clear your predictive text, go to Settings>Language and Input>Prediction and Correction, scroll to the bottom and hit "Clear Learned Words". Keep in mind: this clears all of your other previously learned words.

    Awesome, thanks. I'll clear it out. I prefer to not have the passwords in there, even though I know I'll lose some words, it's better safe than sorry

    You may also have accidentally written your password in the username area once.
