The latest iOS 15.4 beta 3, seeded to developers and beta users this week, has updated the iCloud Keychain service with the ability to save passwords with users’ names.
iCloud Keychain is Apple’s native password manager which allows users to access their app and website passwords, debit/credit card information, Wi-Fi network information, and other account information up to date across all of their approved devices; iPhone iPad, iPod touch, and Mac. It also saves the information on users’ Mail, Contacts, Messages, and Calendar up to date as well.
Update iCloud Keychain on iOS 15.4 will allow users to create custom and stronger passwords
However, users have complained that passwords for accounts on different websites on Safari are saved on iCloud Keychain without a user name which makes it hard to find the password when users log in again.
Apple has made it easier to identify saved passwords on iCloud Keychain for new accounts on iOS 15.4 beta 3. Now, a new popup appears to enter the user name and the password, when creating a new account for a website on Safari. In addition, the new capability allows users to create personalized and stronger passwords.
