If I backup my iphone on an older mac -using itunes- does the backup include my passwords from my phone?

See Backup methods for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support. Encrypted backups can include some passwords. Would recommend backing up to both iCloud and a computer in case the selected backup won't restore for reasons. There are many posts here from users that couldn't remember the password for the encrypted backup when the time came.
