How to check our website passwords and apps

When we talk about passwords, not all are the same. Whether due to the complexity, length or fact of reuse between different services password security varies between each of them. At a time when we use passwords for just about anything, the health and vitality of them all is very important, which is why our iPhone, iPad or Mac allows us to check them out.

ICloud Keychain, home to our passwords

The first step for Safari to check our passwords is that let's keep pressing the key of our devices. The steps are very simple:

   on our iPhone or iPad.

Insecurity alerts, duplicate passwords or too short

As long as we have passwords stored in Safari we will check them out. The the reasons for the notice They can be several, most common are:

• Reused password.
• It's easy to guess the password (the password part is repeated).
• It's easy to guess a password (it contains a common password).
• It's easy to guess a password (it contains a sequence).

Whatever the reason, let's look at how we can identify the situation and fix it.

3. We touch Website and app passwords.

We'll see the sign appear the triangle with the prefix below the name from websites with an unsecured password for any reason. We contact the website in question and will see the meaning of this warning and the direct link to the website to make changes we deem appropriate.

On our Mac

1. We open the app Safari on our Mac.
2. Press Command (⌘) +, (comma).
3. We add a tab Passwords.

We will see a triangle symbol appear with a scar near the name of websites with unsecured passwords for some reason. We click on the sign and we'll see the description of the notification again direct link to website to make the change we think is appropriate.

And it's easy. From time to time we may update the information used by our system with our passwords and ensure that, in addition to being secure on our keychain, they are secure enough to save our data and accounts. Did you know that we can ask Siri to show us the saved password?
