Apple today announced that the Passwords app can now automatically update weak and compromised passwords using Apple Intelligence and Safari to take action on a user’s behalf.
The feature builds on Passwords’ existing ability to flag weak or compromised credentials. Although the app has long been capable of alerting users to security issues, responding to these alerts required manually visiting each site and changing passwords individually. The new feature removes this friction by automating the end-to-end process in the background.
Apple describes the system as agentic, with ‌Apple Intelligence‌ and Safari securely browsing websites, logging in and upgrading accounts to strong passwords without the need for user intervention beyond an initial click. The feature displays as live activity when active.
