How do I stop my passwords from being shared with family sharing?
My 11yo is a member of our family sharing. She uses her own iCloud account. Yet all my passwords are showing up on her device. Why is this?

I don't know how you could share passwords even if you wanted to. To me it sounds like perhaps in the past you were sharing an account? Or maybe she has access to your passwords from some other method and has entered them on her device?
Other people post here commenting about things from another person's account showing up on their devices, but it always turns out that somebody else signed into their device without completely erasing it before and after again. If somebody sign in on a device that has not been erased then there is the risk of data transfer between accounts. I do not know of any other way.
I don’t know why either. My daughter alerted me to this issue, rather than me discovering it. There are over 200 passwords.
I set up her iPad a couple of years ago for school, so it was never in my name…
