US-based technology giant Apple introduced iPadOS 16 and macOS Ventura with iOS 16 as part of the WWDC 2022 events it organized at the beginning of June. Users can experience these operating systems as part of beta versions. As such, new features emerge. Now we will talk about a brand new feature that will make the work of users easier.
Websites have paid a lot of attention to CAPTCHA verifications lately. This is a good thing for them; because thanks to CAPTCHA verifications, cyber attacks can be partially protected. However, users are now uncomfortable with the verifications they see on almost every site. Here, Apple will prevent this situation in new operating systems. CAPTCHA verifications will be performed automatically by the devices.
How will Apple automatically perform CAPTCHA validations?
With the release of the feature, Apple explained how it automates CAPTCHA validations. According to the statements made by the company; A new HTTP authentication method called “PrivateToken” will be used for this feature. This method will make a special encryption between the server of the relevant website and the device of the iPhone user. With this encryption, the user will not need to manually verify CAPTCHA. Apple says the servers won’t be able to access the credentials, it will be purely cryptographic encryption. So user data is also safe.
Websites that want to take advantage of Apple’s new feature will register on a special website to be created by Apple. Thus, sites added to Apple’s database will not bother the user with CAPTCHA verification. According to Apple, Fastly and Cloudflare are the structures where this feature is available as of now.
