Your iCloud password could be newly exposed from a giant password leak
netrox said:I don't get it - passwords should ALWAYS be hashed and salted. How can passwords be exposed? Are they still using plaintext? Surely, it cannot be with Meta, Apple, Google, they already know never to hold passwords in plaintext.
You cannot use hashed passwords to authenticate.
If this is correct the passwords were not taken from the servers but from users' computers.Infostealer malware, which is software designed to siphon saved credentials from browsers and apps, appears to have compiled the leaked data.
Some websites now offer the use of passkeys as an alternative to passwords. Can anyone advise if passkeys are more resistant to this type of theft than passwords? -

How to fix an incessant 'X is accessing your screen' bug in macOS Sequoia
Perhaps you can use "Finder > Go > Go to Folder... " and enter:
