Use a different Apple ID.

If you want to "control" your daughter's iPhone, use Family sharing instead:--> Set up Family Sharing - Apple Support.

Then apply parental controls (if needed) on her iPhone:--> Use parental controls on your child's iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support

Stop sharing an Apple ID with your daughter. Apple IDs are personal; you shouldn’t share them any more than you would share a toothbrush. Lots of bad things will happen when you share an Apple ID; this is only one of them. She will also see all of your photos, all of your texts, calendar events, contacts and can make purchases on your account.

I've never encountered that problem.
Larry, do you think she can still have those info on her device if she changed her Apple ID (but used the same OP's ID before?

Giulio, If she had shared an Apple ID she would have the passwords. When she logged out the Keychain contents could be saved (you are prompted to save when you log out). Then she logs in with her Apple ID and she still has the keychain data. It would not update when her father updated passwords, but the old ones would remain.

Hi there! No problem, don't worry. I think your Keychain option is on. If you don't want your passwords to be shown in your daughter's iPhone, you must do these following steps:

  1. First, go to the Settings (in your iPhone).
  2. Then scroll down and you can see the option named Keychain.
  3. After you found it, go and turn it off.

If you want to make sure that your passwords are not being shown, do these following steps:

  1. Go to your daughter's iPhone and open Settings.
  2. Search "Passwords."
  3. Then you can see a key icon with grey background, click it.
  4. Now you can see the passwords that are saved to your daughter's iPhone.


Hope this instruction helps!

Take care!
