On: Samsung Galaxy S3 stores passwords in plain text

Passwords are not included in iPhone backups. When you restore from a backup, you are prompted for wireless network passwords, for example, that the phone would have just connected to before the backup/restore.

Depends if you encrypt your backups or not. If so, passwords are restored to the device along with the rest of your data.
