In a word, it isn't. The new password is no more nor less safe than the old one. Or are you asking about the data, not the password? Pretty much the same answer.
- MichaelGG 13y agoOK, so Apple is in the same boat as Google. If you can reset your password and still access your data, then it wasn't encrypted in any meaningful way.
- gilgoomesh 13y agoActually, your passwords are gone if Apple resets your Apple ID. If Apple resets your Apple ID password and you restart your device (remember: the Apple ID is kept decrypted in RAM while the device is running), you lose the entire keychain and must re-enter all passwords.
