At this year's WWDC,??? ?? ???? which kicks off on June 10, Apple will reportedly launch a new password manager called Passwords.
This is according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, who claims Apple plans to launch the new app as part of iOS, iPadOS 18, and macOS 15, all of which will likely debut next week.
The app will reportedly be powered by Apple's password-syncing service iCloud Keychain, and will be able to generate passwords and keep track of them. Keychain is already a sort of a password manager, but it's not exactly user friendly as it's hidden in Apple settings and only shows up when it recognizes a password field that needs to be filled.
Passwords will allow users to organize their logins into different categories, and it will also be able to automatically fill login and password fields when needed, the report says. Verification codes, such as those on Google Authenticator, will also be supported.
Finally, Passwords will work on Vision Pro, as well as Windows computers.
SEE ALSO: Apple commits to 5 years of security updates for the iPhone, but that's not the whole storyWhile this probably isn't great news for third party services such as LastPass, Dashlane, and 1Password, which provide more or less the same functionality, it's a logical step for Apple, given that its Keychain is basically already doing it, just not in a very user-friendly way.
Beyond Passwords, next week's WWDC event is expected to largely focus on AI, and likely won't feature any new hardware. Read our expectations for the event here.
