Follow these steps to change your Apple Account password.

Change your Apple Account password

The easiest and most secure way to change your Apple Account password is to use your iPhone or another trusted device — one on which you've already signed in to your Apple Account using two-factor authentication, so that we know it's yours.

Change your Apple Account password on your iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, or Apple Vision Pro

1. Tap Settings > [your name] > Sign-In & Security.

2. Tap Change Password.

   

3. Enter your current password or device passcode, then enter a new password and confirm the new password.

4. Tap Change.

Change your Apple Account password on your Mac

Change your Apple Account password on the web

The Apple Account website redirects you to a trusted device to manage your Apple Account, when possible. But if you don't have a trusted device, you might be able to change your Apple Account password on the web:

Go to account.apple.com and sign in to your Apple Account. Then go to Sign-In and Security and choose Password.

Change your child’s Apple Account password using your iPhone, iPad, or Apple Vision Pro

1. Tap Settings > Family > your child’s account.

2. Tap Apple Account & Password.

3. Tap Change [Child’s Name] Password.

4. Enter your device passcode and follow the onscreen instructions.
