Apple Passwords Will Automatically Change Weak and Compromised Logins

Apple Intelligence paired with Safari will sign into sites and update credentials to cut the manual steps users now take to secure accounts.

Overview

  • Apple unveiled the capability at WWDC, which Monday formed part of its iOS 27 preview of new Apple Intelligence features.
  • The Passwords app will use agentic Apple Intelligence together with Safari to sign in to eligible sites and replace weak or compromised passwords without further user steps.
  • When the system is active it shows a Live Activity so users can see the automated process in progress and confirm changes.
  • iOS 27 that includes the feature is available in a developer beta today, will reach a public beta next month, and is scheduled for a broad release in September.
  • The change builds on the standalone Passwords app Apple released two years ago and aims to reduce user friction and improve password hygiene by automating end-to-end remediation.
