Changing ICloud Password on Apple Watch 3

I changed my ICloud password on all my Apple products. I’ve been prompted to change it on my Apple Watch 3 but cannot find the Watch keyboard to make the change. How do I do it?

Apple Watch Series 3, watchOS 6

I ended up unpairing and then pairing the watch and it seemed to have worked. I’m not getting prompted every hour to enter the password. Just wonder why Apple instructions say enter a password if it can’t be done.


Nevertheless, I appreciate the time you took to help, thank you.

I don't any evidence that you can enter the password on the Watch.


Apple watch prompt for id password - Apple Community indicates that you may be able to try:

"If asked, enter your Apple ID password. If you aren't asked, you can sign in later from the Apple Watch app: Tap General > Apple ID, then sign in. Certain features that require a cellular phone number won't work on cellular models of Apple Watch unless you sign in to iCloud."

As a last resort...Unpair/Erase.

Thank you for responding but the information did not address my question. I have changed the ICloud password on the MacBook, IPad and IPhone. I’m being prompted on my Apple Watch to change the ICloud password as well. The message is to change the password on the Apple Watch keyboard. However, I cannot find a keyboard on the Watch or the Watch app on my IPhone. I’m looking for help for that.
