One of the first things you'll do when you buy your iPhone or iPod touch is to "activate" it through iTunes, to associate it with your Apple ID - the email address and password that allow you to purchase items and download apps from the iTunes Store. As you know, you can change iTunes password from iTunes itself, but this will affect all devices currently associated with that particular Apple ID - in other words, you need to update your credentials from these devices. This tutorial shows you how to update your password from an iPhone or an iPod touch.
How to change my iPhone / iPod touch password for iTunes?
Here's how to update your iTunes Store credentials in just a few steps:
- Tap on the Home button to show one of your Home screens, slide to unlock if needed, and then navigate until you find the "Settings" icon (with the gears) - tap on it.
- Once your iPhone or iPod touch has opened the Settings application, scroll down to the third section of options, and you'll find a "Store" button right below Photos.
- Tap on, and then tap on the "View Account" button.
- Tip: if you are trying to change both your email address and password, tap instead on the "Sign Out" button, and then sign back in with the proper credentials - this may force you to sync your content through iTunes.
- As soon as you do, your iPhone / iPod touch will display an "iTunes Password" dialog: type in your new password, and tap on the "OK" button. If your old password was remembered on the device, the new one will now be kept in memory for a short time (after that, the device will automatically ask you to sign in whenever you are about to purchase new content, install new updates, or change some settings on your Apple ID and linked account).
That's all it takes to update your password on iPod touch or iPhone - the transition to the new one is seamless, since Apple never assumes for a long time that you are the same person using the phone or iPod, and keeps asking for credentials, without any option to automatically remember your password.
