As important as being secure with your sensitive information online is, few among us have perfect password hygiene, and Apple apparently knows it. With a new Apple Intelligence<\/a> feature announced at WWDC 2026<\/a>, Apple\u2019s AI can now automatically change passwords that could get you hacked.<\/p>\n

The tool, which builds on a previous security feature that can identify passwords that are either weak or compromised, can apparently use Apple\u2019s AI to navigate through websites and sign in, allowing Apple Intelligence to \u201cagentically take action on a user\u2019s behalf,\u201d according to Apple<\/a>. It then saves the new password in the Passwords app so you don\u2019t have to worry about forgetting it as soon as it\u2019s changed.<\/p>\n

\"Apple\u00a9 Apple <\/p>\n

Previously, to fix a compromised password, you\u2019d have to go into each account and manually change your credentials, which is probably not most people\u2019s idea of a barrel of laughs, especially if you have two-factor authentication on, which you should.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not much on the surface, but it\u2019s among the more useful Apple Intelligence features I\u2019ve seen out there, especially considering it can be the difference between you getting hacked or not. It\u2019s also a good example of how Apple, which has long been known for its superior security over Android, can utilize \u201cagentic\u201d AI in a way that feels uniquely its own.<\/p>\n

While Google has built-in tools like Google Password Manager that can detect weak or compromised passwords, Gemini can\u2019t currently change those passwords for you, making the tool fairly novel in terms of how agentic AI is being used. The feature also feels like an outlier in terms of agentic AI since, normally, putting the words \u201cpasswords\u201d and \u201cAI agent\u201d in the same sentence is usually a one-way ticket to setting off every security alarm bell imaginable. OpenClaw,<\/a> for example, has been characterized as a security nightmare<\/a> on more than one occasion.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t think automatically changing your password is going to drastically shift anyone\u2019s opinion of AI, but as long as it\u2019s useful, it\u2019s hard to argue with. Remember the days before iOS automatically plugged in confirmation codes for you? Bad, right? That\u2019s the type of utility we\u2019re yearning for.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As important as being secure with your sensitive information online is, few among us have perfect password hygiene,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":483204,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[345,670,343,344,85,46,125,144731],"class_list":["post-483203","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-ai","tag-apple","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificialintelligence","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-technology","tag-wwdc-2026"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/483203","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=483203"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/483203\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/483204"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=483203"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=483203"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=483203"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
