How do you reset your Apple ID password?

Published in Apple ID Security 2 mins read

To reset your Apple ID password, navigate through your iPhone's Settings app.

Here's a step-by-step guide:

  1. Go to Settings: Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
  2. Tap your name: At the top of the Settings menu, you'll see your name. Tap on it. This opens your Apple ID settings.
  3. Tap Sign-In & Security: Select "Sign-In & Security" from the menu.
  4. Tap Change Password: Choose the "Change Password" option.
  5. Follow the onscreen instructions: Your iPhone will guide you through the process of resetting your password, which may involve entering your iPhone passcode or answering security questions.

Important Considerations:

  • Two-Factor Authentication: If you have two-factor authentication enabled (which is highly recommended), you'll need to enter a verification code sent to your trusted device or phone number.
  • Recovery Key: If you've set up a recovery key for your Apple ID, you'll need to use that to reset your password if you can't access your trusted devices.
  • Account Recovery: If you can't access any of your trusted devices or phone numbers and don't have a recovery key, you can start an account recovery request. This is a longer process that can take several days.

By following these steps, you should be able to successfully reset your Apple ID password.
