Security on iPhone 12

I just turned my iPhone on and up popped a list of an analysis of my passwords. It gave the cite address, my User Name, and an evaluation of my password. In some cases it said that the site had been compromised and I should change my password, but in other instances it just said the password was "easy to guess".

where did this come from and should I go through just about every password and change it as suggested?

iOS is checking the passwords stored in your keychain.


Go to Settings … Passwords … to see to “issues” item by item.


You can then decide what to do; after all it’s YOUR identity that is being protected by those passwords.


Here’s a bit more detail about how it works:
