Apple’s new AI attempts to correct incorrect passwords.
Apple said at its Worldwide Developers Conference on Monday that its Passwords app will soon be able to update targeted weak or compromised passwords.
“Now you can automatically update eligible accounts to strong passwords with just a tap,” Beth Dakin, a senior manager on the engineering team for Apple’s Safari browser app, said during the event.
He said the system “acts agentically on behalf of the user.”
Apple already warns users if their saved passwords are weak, have been reused, or may have been compromised in a data breach. Apple says the upcoming feature will go one step further, allowing users to change their leaked passwords with a single tap of a blue button on the Security page within the Passwords app.
The Passwords app works with Apple’s AI, Apple Intelligence, and Safari to navigate websites, sign in, and upgrade your passwords.

The password protection tool was one of the more subtle updates discussed during Apple’s keynote on Monday, which also included fancy AI features like more advanced Siri, enhanced photo editing tools, and improved device search.
Still, Apple’s password update is important because it’s built into Safari and Passwords, a popular tool that comes preloaded on most Apple products.
Apple isn’t the first technology company to offer a password-changing feature. In 2021, Google announced that its Chrome browser could now allow users to change compromised passwords with a single tap on supported sites. At Google’s 2025 I/O conference, Google also previewed a Chrome feature that will allow users to automatically change weak or compromised passwords on supported sites with user consent.
Marques Brownlee, a technology commentator with more than 21 million YouTube followers, called Apple’s Passwords app update “very clever” in a video posted Tuesday.
