Change your Apple Account password
Learn how to use a trusted device to change your Apple Account password or a child’s Apple Account password.
Apple ID is now Apple Account. You can still sign in with the same email address or phone number and password.
Use a trusted Apple device
The easiest and most secure way to change your Apple Account password is to use your iPhone or another trusted device — one on which you’ve already signed in to your Apple Account using two-factor authentication, so that we know it’s yours.
A parent or guardian can also use their trusted device to change the Apple Account password for a Child Account in their Family Sharing group.
