"you must change your password within 60 minutes". Has anyone else had this pop up on their iPad?

Was it a Safari pop-up or iOS system pop-up? Is your mail app setup for Exchange server? I've seen users asking about this pop-up and it's usually related to Exchange mail (policy). Whatever it is, you did the right thing by going into Settings and changing the password once more.

Apple does not send warning like this. It is a scam or phishing attempt to get personal info from you. Even though you changed your Password (very quickly, I hope) you should watch your accounts for unusual or fraudulent activity.

Yes, but was it as a result of a request as described? This kind of instruction does not pop up out of the blue, and it should contain your name. Unfortunately, Ducks71 has not included all the details of the pop up so we don't know for sure if they are reporting all or part of the instruction.

HI

this was an iOS pop up as I was only on my home screen and had not gone into Safari or any app. This is my personal iPad, so not connected to any exchange servers.

I'm quite confident that it is legitimate iOS notification. If you have one of those email account provided by Microsoft, it's very likely it is hosted on Exchange servers.

i have always believed that apple security were not at risk to any of these time of problems.

Your belief is incorrect. Apple devices aren't immune to scam delivered through Safari pop-up (or email message). If javascript is enabled, nothing is going to stop scammers from popping up a warning (in Safari) to ask you to call them or follow a link to their website. I can't see what you saw but based on what you said, I tend to think that the message is legitimate.

YES! Happened to me, twice. It's not a malware attempt.

You must change your iPhone password in 60 minutes!
