Apple ID Security – Access After Password Change

Hello, I hope you're doing well.

If I change my Apple ID password and security questions, will people who previously had access to my account still remain signed in, or will they be logged out?

Hi there

Please try this


To ensure anyone with unauthorized access is completely locked out, take these immediate steps:

1. Check and Remove Unrecognized Devices

  • Go to the official Apple Account Management Page and sign in.
  • Select Devices.
  • Review the list of devices logged into your account and remove any device you do not recognize or no longer use. 

2. Use Safety Check (iOS 16 or Later)

If you are using an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 16 or later, you can use built-in safety tools to review and revoke access:

  • Open Settings on your device.
  • Tap your name, then go to Safety Check.
  • Use Emergency Reset to immediately disconnect all people and devices you may have previously shared information with or who have access to your account.
