When we use a phone, security is one of the top priorities. In that case, for different apps, we use different password managers or methods. It will be exhausting or may be challenging to remember different passwords and methods. Now Apple is going to introduce their first password manager software in order to challenge other password manager software like LastPass and 1Password. In WWDC 2024 they are going to introduce this app. This is available for all Apple devices including the new Vision Pro.
Before this Apple used the Settings app for password management, in there the passwords are stored in iCloud and it is okay until you use Apple or Safari apps. Also, when you have to connect with a Windows computer or other devices you have to check the password manually on your iPhone. The procedure with Two-factor authentication will be complicated too. Because of these reasons, apple users waiting for a new password manager software for their own. The new one is working fine even with Windows.
As the Gurman, this app can solve many of the problems associated with password management. This will work as an authenticator app like Google Authenticator. You can use this on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Vision Pro, and most importantly Windows.
Privacy
Apple is a service company and the amount of data they have about people is really huge. Protecting huge amounts of data is not a new thing for Apple they already doing it. Some users and cyber security experts are concerned about Apple’s password protection. Some may doubt if they store the digital key of the password, and what is going to happen if it is hacked.
Also, people are more concerned about the Open AI and Apple’s partnership. People think there will be a risk that Apple shares the data and passwords with OpenAI. But with the WWDC 24 Apple reconfirmed its commitment to protecting data. With AI, they will use special servers with Apple Silicon to ensure that their user data is more private and secure than ever.
The password app is good but there is an issue. With your Apple ID and password anyone can get access to your iCloud. With that, they can access your Password app. We can assume that they will solve this in the near future.
