Apple is gearing up for its annual developer conference, WWDC 2024, where it's expected to reveal iOS 18, the latest operating system for iPhones. According to recent reports, one of the highlights of this event will be the introduction of a new Passwords app designed to simplify logging into websites and software.
The new Passwords app aims to help users generate and manage their passwords more efficiently. It's expected to be powered by Apple's iCloud Keychain service and will likely be available across various platforms, including iPadOS, macOS, iOS, and VisionOS.
Features of Apple's New Passwords App
According to industry insider Mark Gurman, the Passwords app will function similarly to popular password managers like 1Password and LastPass. Users will have the ability to import passwords from these rival services. The app is expected to organize user logins into categories such as accounts, Wi-Fi networks, and passkeys, making it easier to manage credentials.
Apple plans to streamline the login process by enabling autofill for saved passwords in websites and apps. Additionally, the Passwords app may serve as an authenticator, providing verification similar to Google Authenticator.
Focus on Generative AI in iOS 18
While the Passwords app is anticipated to be a significant announcement at the WWDC on June 10, Apple is also expected to spotlight new generative AI features in iOS 18. Reports indicate that iOS 18 is viewed internally as one of Apple's most substantial software updates to date.
Potential AI features in iOS 18 may include:
There are also rumors that Apple has partnered with OpenAI to integrate advanced AI capabilities into iOS 18.
Stay tuned for more updates as we approach WWDC 2024, where Apple will unveil these exciting new developments.
