Apple revealed a new AI feature for its Passwords app during WWDC. The update lets the app change compromised passwords automatically, eliminating manual fixes. Passwords has stored logins, 2FA codes and Wi‑Fi credentials since 2022, flagging weak or leaked passwords before. Now the system can act on those alerts without user input for you today.

Apple says the new AI will keep accounts secure by generating strong passwords on demand. The feature targets logins that appear in data breaches or duplicate across services. Users will receive a prompt to approve the change, after which the app updates the credential in the cloud and on the device instantly for every user.

iOS 27 will roll out in developer beta later today, with public beta expected next month. Full release follows in September, giving all users access to the automated password‑changing tool. The move positions Apple as a leader in cybersecurity automation, potentially reducing the need for third‑party password managers.

iOS 27’s auto‑changing passwords tool streamlines account security, reducing the burden on users while tightening defenses against leaks. The feature underscores Apple’s push toward integrated security solutions, delivering a robust safeguard for millions of device owners.
