Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
If you have multiple Apple IDs that use different passwords, you can choose to reset those passwords to the same password if you like. To change your Apple ID password, please follow the instructions in the attached article.

Safari Preferences > Passwords > [√] Autofill Usernames and passwords
