By keeping your AppleID password private …
… and by keeping your iPhone passcode private and not easily guessed …
… and by enabling AppleID 2FA.
Keep your auto-lock set to a fairly short delay (e.g. 3-minutes) and use Face/Touch ID.
DON’T reuse passwords. (Poorly hardened websites will unfortunately continue to be breached and any password you use on them “leaked”). Use password manager. (e.g. Keychain)
Ensure Keychain’s “Detect Compromised Passwords” is active, and take action on any of Keychain’s “Security Recommendations.”
Lastly … be wary of phishing. Many “hacks” occur when an unwary user literally “hands over” the keys to their data.

Following these steps very well “secure” the entries in your keychain.
