How to Automatically Fix Weak and Compromised Passwords in iOS 27

We all know we should update weak or compromised passwords, but doing it manually is a huge pain. You have to log into each site, navigate to the account settings, generate a new password, and save it. It takes forever. iOS 27 fixes this with a massive update to the Passwords app that automates the entire process. Here is how to let your iPhone do the heavy lifting for you.

Step 1: Head to your Security settings

Your iPhone keeps track of passwords that are easily guessed or caught in data leaks. You can now fix these in bulk.

1. Open the Passwords app.
2. Tap on the Security section.
3. Look for the prompt to Automatically Fix your passwords.
4. Tap the Get Started button.

Step 2: Review your logins

After tapping get started, you will see a quick explanation of how the feature works. The app signs into eligible accounts behind the scenes, generates strong new passwords, and saves them automatically.

1. Tap Continue to see the full list of accounts your iPhone can fix.
2. Review the list of websites and services.
3. Tap the three dots next to any specific login. From this menu, you can choose to view the account details or skip fixing that specific password.

Step 3: Fix them all at once

Once you are happy with the list of accounts, it is time to let the automation run.

1. Tap the Fix Passwords button at the bottom of the screen.
2. Your iPhone gets to work immediately. It handles the entire login and password reset flow for every site on the list.

You do not even need to keep the app open. A Live Activity pops up at the top of your screen showing the progress as it churns through your accounts. You will also receive a handy notification every time a password gets successfully updated.

You are all set

Updating dozens of compromised passwords used to take an entire afternoon. Now it takes about three taps. Check your Passwords app after the Live Activity finishes, and you will have a clean, highly secure list of logins ready to go.
