Passwords 4+

I love this new password app on my iPhone. It’s particularly convenient to be able to select which passwords I want to share with others. My frustration is the difficulty I have changing my compromised, old passwords on the 100’s of sites I use. I have to go back and forth from the app to the web page clicking on things, inputting old passwords, hopping I get it r right so the app will generate a strong password for me. It can take a lot of effort, mostly due to the web site side of this equation. It would be brilliant if this could somehow be streamlined so I could change all my passwords quickly and easily in one fell swop. That appears to be a bridge too far still. So I slowly go back and forth between the password app and the 100’s of sites I have changing each one at a time. Say, 5-10 minutes per site password change, I’m looking at weeks to get them all done. Life will be easier then.

Love the look and feel of the app, as always from Apple. The feature set is pretty solid too for a first version. Passkeys, sharing, OAUTH codes, and security warnings are awesome. I currently use and pay for nordpass, but this application is tempting me to end that. There are a few features that would be nice to see that nordpass currently has. For example, I can keep certain passwords in folders, which yes there is a shared folder option but I don't necessarily want to share these, just organize them. Another nice feature would be being able to save credit cards, and other personally identifiable info like passports or whatever. I know that leaks over into the "Wallet" app but those features aren't quite there. Maybe they can be integrated into that application instead. Secure notes would be nice as well but that's already taken care of by "Notes", just a different app that I will have to navigate to, not a big deal. A password generator built into the iOS version would be nice as well, I see it's on Mac already in a simple way. Would be cool to see that built better for more customization of the password.

I have seen Passwords grow and become more connected to our behaviors within the Apple biome. I'm hoping with artificial intelligence it will help us make those connections that we are either unaware of, or uneducated in, or even forgetful about. I think with artificial intelligence passwords can become more seamless and I look forward to seeing Apple Improve these areas in the three spheres I mentioned. Those three spheres are obvious and relevant across the Apple biome and all of its iterations. Thank you Apple!
