Passwords compromised message
Apparently, I have over 400 passwords that have been compromised.
estimate 300+ are for websites I never visit.
how do I clear all those in one fell swoop?
iPhone 16 Pro, iOS 18

Password re-use ends badly, if that is the cause of the notifications. Folks collect those credentails, and then try the passwords everywhere.
Here is how to: Change weak or compromised passwords on iPhone - Apple Support
For those accounts that are no longer valid, delete the saved passwords. “Note: If iPhone warns you about a password for a website or app that’s no longer available, you can remove its account from your iPhone and iCloud Keychain. Go to the Passwords app on your iPhone, tap All, then swipe left on the account.”
I’m not aware of a bulk delete, however.

Yep it is going to be one at a time in the Passwords app. A bulk delete feature for something as sensitive as Passwords would not need to be done regularly. As Mr Hoffman pointed out, something like that would be common when the same password has been used on multiple sites, but that is not recommended.
Where did you get this message?
