After changing my apple id password it does not show up in my list of passwords. There is no apple in the list of passwords. It is not in the list on my iPhone or on my MacBook Pro.

Why would you want your Apple Account password in your Passwords app ?

That would be somewhat like recording a safe combo on a piece of paper and then locking it inside the safe

Your own Trusted Devices automatically authenticate to Apple services with far stronger cryptologically-based mechanisms than username + password

Of the ever-growing list of passwords securing our digital lives, some of them REALLY NEED to be “solidly” memorized. This is ONE of them. Why?:

Without knowing it, you can’t use web-based FindMy to locate a lost device or mark it as “lost.”

Without knowing it, you will encounter significant difficulty regaining Apple Account access if (when) you’ve lost access to ALL of your Trusted Devices.

However, if you really do want it stored in your Passwords App, you can easily “Add” a password into the app. See instructions here:

Re: "Apple does not appear in my list of passwords".

To view Apple Account password ...

Try Settings > [ your name ] on iPhone

(or

Apple menu > System Settings > [ your name ] on Mac)
