Change weak or compromised passwords on iPod touch
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), iPod touch identifies them for you automatically. iPod touch 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 > Security 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 security and convenience of that feature. If you aren’t given the upgrade option when you change your password, many accounts allow iPod touch to automatically create a strong password that you don’t have to remember.
Note: If iPod touch warns you about a password for a website or app that’s no longer available, you can remove its account from your iPod touch and iCloud Keychain. Go to Settings > Passwords, then swipe left on the account.
Hide a security recommendation
You can hide a security recommendation so that you don’t have to continue reviewing it if you’re unable to address it.
Go to Settings
> Passwords > Security Recommendations, then tap an account.
In the Security Recommendation section, tap
, then tap Hide.
To view the recommendation later, go to Settings > Passwords > Security Recommendations, scroll to the bottom of the screen, then tap Hidden Security Recommendations. To reshow all security recommendations, tap Reset Hidden Security Recommendations.
Turn detection of compromised passwords on or off
