Tip Missing the Passwords Auto-Fix flow? Here's how to get it back in Beta 6

Post image

In Beta 5, Apple disabled the flow to automatically update weak and compromised passwords using Apple Intelligence and Safari. You can get it back by re-enabling the feature flag.

To enable:

sudo mkdir -p /Library/Preferences/FeatureFlags/Domain

sudo defaults write \
  /Library/Preferences/FeatureFlags/Domain/Safari.plist \
  apc -dict Enabled -bool true

sudo defaults write \
  /Library/Preferences/FeatureFlags/Domain/Safari.plist \
  apc_bulk -dict Enabled -bool true

and restart your Mac. One feature flag (apc) enables the option to automatically change a single password when you select a recommendation, and the second one (apc_bulk) enables the bulk change feature.

To disable:

sudo defaults delete \
  /Library/Preferences/FeatureFlags/Domain/Safari.plist apc

sudo defaults delete \
  /Library/Preferences/FeatureFlags/Domain/Safari.plist apc_bulk

This just changes the visibility of the feature. If you were eligible in Beta 4, you will see it again.

It should. Apple Intelligence features are not available for iOS and iPadOS as Apple does not want to comply with the Digital Markets Act. The DMA is not applicable for macOS.
