![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Might be a good idea to update your passwords if you haven’t changed them recently. I am not even sure whether the general public would even notice such a difference between providers or would even consider something like "We nag more people into thinking of yet another complex password than any of our competitors" an actual bonus point. So my iPhone just gave me a pop-up about a data leak and passwords being compromised. Tap the Password field, then tap Copy Password, so you can paste it where it’s requestedfor example, when you create a new password and you’re asked to enter your old password. If the user logs in to a website in Safari using a previously saved password that’s very weak or that’s been compromised by a data leak, they’re shown an alert strongly. If an account has a weak or compromised password, a message explains the problem. My question however goes in a different direction: What sources beyond (or completely instead of) the data breaches kindly collected by Troy Hunt does Apple use? I could not find any hints about this in the help on iPhone nor online.Īlso, while on one hand, it may seem like an advantage over the competition when Apple have their own extended list of breaches, it would be detrimental to overall security if different providers do not share such lists for a maximized rate of discovery of bad passwords. Weak, reused, and leaked passwords are either indicated in the list of passwords (macOS) or present in the dedicated Security Recommendations interface (iOS and iPadOS). Which passwords are compromised seems to vary. It seems that about once a month multiple of my passwords are involved in a data leak. Of course the immediate action is clear: Change that broken password!! Password leaks very often Hello there, I have recently begun checking my passwords with apples new 'security recommendations' on my iphone. I always thought that HaveIBeenPawned was sort of a "gold standard" for lists of known passwords from security breaches, but now it has become apparent that this is not the case ("asking for a friend"):Ī password that was (and even sometime later still is) not found on HaveIBeenPwned raised a warning on an iPhone that it had appeared in some data breach. ![]()
