Siri can fix your compromised passwords now?

July 02, 2026 / 00:52

This episode discusses a new feature in password management that allows passwords to automatically fix themselves if they are weak or compromised. The conversation highlights how the passwords app alerts users about weak and reused passwords and now takes action to change them automatically.

The hosts explain that the passwords app has been notifying users about weak passwords for years, but many do not take action. With the new feature, users can give permission for the app to log in to various websites and change passwords to more secure options.

This change aims to enhance security by ensuring users have stronger passwords without requiring them to manually update each one. The hosts express mixed feelings about the implications of relying on the app for password management.

TLDR

New password feature automatically updates weak credentials for better security.

00:00:12

years it's already been telling you, "Hey, your passwords are weak. Your passwords are compromised. If you have

00:00:17

the same password in more than one site, it'll tell you this is a weak password."

00:00:20

So, all of these have always been flagged before, but people don't often do anything about it. This new passwords
