Disable Password Manager in Settings

Is there a way to disable Password Manager in Settings? I don't want users to be able to view passwords nor add a password to the password manager for iPad/iOS devices.

I think the closest you can get is disabling the Password auto fill with a configuration profile.

However, it is generally a security concern to remove all password managers as users are far more likely to use insecure passwords, write their passwords down and reuse passwords if they don't have a tool that can save and manage passwords. I recommend only disabling untrusted password managers.

Would iOS 18 make a difference? They are separating the Passwords section into a standalone app which can then be restricted then? I assume there's no way to do it for iOS 17 though.

I have not seen any changes to this behavior, but everything should be documented on Apples developer page linked below.
