There are password apps, like Samsung Pass, and others that are even cross platform and save your passwords securely in the cloud.

How does a factory reset fix it

[Diizzy]

Idk i read somewhere where it could fix it but idk

[meself]

Only thing a factory reset would do is you having to go thru everything again settings etc not fix the issue stated minus be able to know the password

[Diizzy]

I honestly don't know how to reset it

I don't know why you would have to be told to write down or remember a password. Especially passwords you do not use very often.  As someone said earlier, there are excellent password managers out there and you can have a different password for every app and not have to remember a single one.  I'd avoid Samsung Pass, though.  It's convenient when you're on a Samsung device, but if you ever need to read your passwords well, Samsung Pass is ONLY readable on Samsung devices and all your passwords will be gone if you decide to buy another brand of phone.  Stick with Google, LastPass, OnePassword, Roboform.  All these are universal and will work on any device.
