Fix breached passwords fast?

I have well over 100 breached passwords according to Safari, so fixing each individually is a formidable task. Google are about to launch a single click solution. Is there anything similar in the pipeline from Apple?

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 11.3

Hello

When security is breached

Safari shows an alert as shown below.



For details:

Section: Password monitoring

Safari securely monitors your saved passwords, automatically keeping an eye out for passwords that may have been involved in a data breach. To do this, Safari uses strong cryptographic techniques to regularly check derivations of your passwords against a list of breached passwords in a secure and private way that doesn’t reveal your password information — even to Apple. If Safari discovers a breach, it can help you upgrade to Sign in with Apple when available, or automatically generate a new secure password.

The question was, is Apple going to bring out a one-click solution that batch resets a whole bunch of keychain passwords?

And the answer is, we don't know. Apple don't tell us about its future plans and we are not allowed to speculate in these forums (which would be pointless in the absence of any information).

I don’t know then. Sometimes when I log into a site a get a window pop up saying a particular password has been breached. It’s definitely an Apple thing and it directs me to a long list of stored key ring passwords, a lot of which have a yellow flag to update. I assumed it was Safari. Must be system level then I guess—you tell me. Anyway, that’s not my main question.

And canned answers/guesses is all you're ever going to get when you won't give us anything to work with. You've provided no details, no screen shots of what these messages exactly look like. Nothing.


Maybe one day you'll get a useful answer when you post useful information.
