Changing your Hotmail password on your iPhone is very simple once you know where to go. It may not be very clear at first, but I’ll walk you through the process of changing and updating your Hotmail password on your iPhone if your account is linked. Remember to choose a somewhat complex password for security reasons. If you’re using iOS 12 or later, your iPhone can automatically fill in your passwords, although I’m not a big fan of this feature because it can make it harder to sign in from other devices. But whether you choose a new password yourself or let Apple create one for you, the steps are the same.
