<\/p>\nI don\u2019t know about you, but I\u2019m terrible at managing my passwords. Despite being warned multiple times, I still use the same password for a few different accounts.<\/p>\n
And I still rely on the password managers built into the likes of Chrome and Firefox, even though they\u2019re considered less secure than dedicated services. Oops.<\/p>\n
To make matters worse, when Google, Mozilla or the website itself warns me that some of my passwords could be compromised (or have just stayed the same for too long) and need to be changed, I never get around to it. Don\u2019t even get me started on the passkeys I keep getting told to use!<\/p>\n
Apple\u2019s disastrous AI rollout has justifiably made it the butt of many jokes. But at WWDC 2026, the company revealed what could be the perfect solution to my password woes. <\/p>\n
A perfect solution \u2013 in theory<\/p>\n
The iPhone has had a dedicated Passwords app for the last two years. But by integrating AI in iOS 27, Apple is stealing a march on the competition. <\/p>\n
Just like rivals, it prompts you to change passwords used across multiple accounts or those that could be related to a data breach. However, instead of changing each one manually, Apple will now use AI to do it for you.<\/p>\n
Yep, you read that right. With a single tap (or so Apple claims), you\u2019ll be able to get an unsafe password changed and have the new one automatically saved across all your Apple devices. Perfect.<\/p>\n
I want to see if AI can help me finally get my passwords in check<\/p>\n

\t\t\tThe automatic password changing in action<\/p>\n
Apple<\/p>\n
The process uses agentic AI, appearing to lean heavily on Apple\u2019s partnership with Google Gemini. Which begs the question\u2026 why hasn\u2019t Google already added it to Android? <\/p>\n
Google\u2019s Password Manager is already very popular and works across almost all apps on the Play Store. Google has deployed Gemini in almost all of its apps and services in recent months, but passwords have been left out for now.<\/p>\n
A couple of key caveats<\/p>\n
The success of a feature like this will depend on how widespread and successful it is. A similar feature has been available on LastPass in some form since 2020, but many users have reported<\/a> that it doesn\u2019t work effectively.<\/p>\n Hopefully, AI will allow Apple to succeed where LastPass has failed, but it\u2019s unclear how many websites and apps could be unsupported.<\/p>\n \t\t\tLastPass gets a lot right, but not an effective auto password changer<\/p>\n Martyn Casserly<\/p>\n There\u2019s also the question of how much you trust a major tech company to handle and modify sensitive data on your behalf \u2013 many people prefer to be in control of these things, and for good reason. Apple has long presented itself as a privacy-first company, but that\u2019s at risk when you\u2019re relying on Google Gemini and cloud-based AI tools like this.<\/p>\n Despite these caveats, I\u2019m desperate for Google or Samsung to make a version of their own. Even if I end up turning it off, I want to see if AI can help me finally get my passwords in check \u2013 let\u2019s get it into Android 17<\/a>, stat.<\/p>\n![\"LastPass](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/LastPass-Review-SECURITY.jpg\")
