If you are users of an iPhone or iPad, surely you know that your iOS device has the ability to store the logins (username and password) to be able to use them in an automated way to access your user account in applications and Web services without having to enter manually the password of the same..
The storage of your passwords and the Apple Keychain service (iCloud) are fully linked to FaceID, TouchID and the security password of your iPhone or iPad. This means that when we want to log into apps or Web services using the password stored on your iOS device or in Keychain, we have to allow it using our FaceID, TouchID or security code.
Although your iPhone or the Keychain service stores your passwords securely, this does not mean that your passwords themselves are secure. In other words, your logins may be at risk due to the poor quality of your passwords or because a security breach has occurred in a specific app or user account. Precisely to avoid this type of situation, your iPhone and iPad have the ability to analyze your passwords by comparing them with security databases and offers you recommendations on which ones you should change in order to increase the security of your user accounts..
With that said, below we want to show you how to activate the security recommendations of your iPhone with iOS so that the passwords that are compromised are shown:
