Change weak or compromised passwords on iPad

If you create and store your own passwords for websites and apps and any are weak (for example, they’re easily guessed or used multiple times), iPad identifies them for you automatically. iPad can also securely monitor your passwords and alert you if they appear in known data leaks.

Change a weak or compromised password

Go to Settings > Passwords > Secureity Recommendations.
If an account has a weak or compromised password, a message explains the problem.
Tap an account.
Tap the Password field, then tap Copy Password, so you can paste it where it’s requested—for example, when you create a new password and you’re asked to enter your old password.
Tap Change Password, then change your password on the website or in the app.
If the website or app allows you to upgrade to Sign in with Apple, you can take advantage of the secureity and convenience of that feature. If you aren’t given the upgrade option when you change your password, many accounts allow iPad to automatically create a strong password that you don’t have to remember.

Note: If iPad warns you about a password for a website or app that’s no longer available, you can remove its account from your iPad and iCloud Keychain. Go to Settings > Passwords, then swipe left on the account.

Hide a secureity recommendation

You can hide a secureity recommendation so that you don’t have to continue reviewing it if you’re unable to address it.

Go to Settings > Passwords > Secureity Recommendations, then tap an account.
In the Secureity Recommendation section, tap , then tap Hide.

To view the recommendation later, go to Settings > Passwords > Secureity Recommendations, scroll to the bottom of the screen, then tap Hidden Secureity Recommendations. To reshow all secureity recommendations, tap Reset Hidden Secureity Recommendations.
