Hello @atpfm I have an #askatp: When I change my Apple ID password, it does not update the saved Apple ID password in the passwords app. You have to manually update the entry, or enter it manually at appleid.apple.com. This looks weird and potentially insecure to me: you change the most important Apple password but Apple doesn’t save it for you in its main password app. What do you think?
Cc’ing @rmondello in case it’s in his wheelhouse and he has time to comment .
@siracusa thank you John. FWIW I asked Siri about what to do, and it reported that Apple ID passwords do not save to the passwords app automatically, only when accessed via the Apple ID website or iCloud.com.
However its source was the old community help forums which are now deprecated, so I don’t know if this is accurate, though the post was quite detailed. The support page doesn’t cover it.
I think this is quite poor of Apple not to update its own passwords app.
@grievousangel This sounds like either a bug in Apple’s password reset process (whichever one you used) or else maybe it created a second entry in the Passwords app because the first one didn’t match exactly.
