In beta versions of iOS 15.4, iPadOS 15.4, and macOS Monterey 12.3, Apple made iCloud Keychain’s way of saving passwords easier. Currently, Keychain can save a password without a username, but you guessed it, the anonymous password gets messy over time. In Apple’s beta updates, password management will no longer be like this with iOS 15.4.
This is an issue faced by Apple users who prefer iCloud Keychain as their password manager; It will be fixed with iOS 15.4, iPadOS 15.4, and macOS Monterey 12.3. When prompted to save a password to iCloud Keychain after updates, a window will pop up asking for username and “Enter your account username to save this password.” warning will be given.
How to manage password with iOS 15.4?
This ease of password saving, which will come for both iCloud Keychain and Safari browser, was detailed by Apple employee Ricky Mondello. According to Mondello, who shared details about the new feature that was asked of him on Twitter, Apple has resolved a problematic point in the way Safari and iCloud Keychain work.
This minor change will make the password in iCloud Keychain without username will minimize the situations in which it is recorded. In addition to making logging in easier, it will allow users to create stronger passwords for the websites they visit.
iOS 15.4, iPadOS 15.4, and macOS 12.3 are currently in developer and public beta testing. The updates are expected to be announced to global users in the middle of next March.
