With personal information akin to the fortress that one has to protect, APPLE introduces a new password manager app to secure your fortress like never before. Announced at APPLE’s annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2024, a dedicated password app is the company’s latest innovation to change the way users secure and access their digital keys. Let’s take a tour of this new app from APPLE to see how the password management system can take us into the future.
Those days are gone when your pet’s name plus a series of numbers was good enough. Those days are gone when we recommended robust, complex passwords. Today, it’s a requirement. That’s why APPLE’s announcement is so beautiful.A password manager that’s not just another app, but a core piece of digital security, part of iOS, macOS, and visionOS in the next versions of the operating systems: iOS 18, macOS Sequoia, and visionOS 2.
Instead, explore the Passwords app a little more, and marvel at the slickness of the interface redesign that APPLE engineers have whipped up. Now with an added column on the left, it’s a welcome invitation to a world of ease and speed. A quick glance is all that’s needed to cover all the entries in your password vault, from Wi-Fi passwords (a new category) to passkeys and codes, outside of the more traditional website or service-based passwords.
The APPLE Passwords app becomes a digital command centre, whose vaults are just the tip of a Capstone – the solid organisational structure of an ecosystem that syncs former long-standing features (shared passwords, verification codes, a note field for every item) and makes it easy for the greenest of beginners or the most hardened veterans of digital security to get started.
It’s APPLE’s trademark knack for integrating, more than for innovating, that’s on display here. Passwords works just as well on all of your devices, on any of the operating systems – iOS, macOS or visionOS – that run on them. And your Keys sit on whatever device you’re using at the moment. Everything evolves in a way, to paraphrase the company itself, to meet you where you are. It’s more than just good marketing to say that you pride yourself on your empathy towards the human condition; your devices, your operating systems, the apps that you create have to show it.
And when we look into its future it’s an icon for the APPLE vision of security, both symbolic and real, as APPLE, like any good business, optimises its digital products for the highest level of security and usability.
Lost in the internet maze, APPLE emerges as a beacon, allowing its users to take digital security into their own hands, and to manage their passwords with confidence. The Passwords app is an app to unleash a future in which managing the keys to digital life is as enjoyable as it is effortless.
Driving this technological achievement is APPLE’s ideology – a dedication to innovation, integration and security. With each successive update to its operating systems and with every new device launch, APPLE restates its commitment to user experience and security. The Passwords app demonstrates this focus by opting towards working in the ecosystem rather than against it – and sets a new bar for what password managers can be.
The Passwords app – and indeed, APPLE’s very attempts to make it the testing ground for digital security – has since become less a mere product and more a testament to what great design can do for the user, at a time when we live closer to our digital lives than ever before. In a post-federated world, where digital touches all aspects of our existence, APPLE shows the way, ensuring that our digital experiences can remain as secure as they are streamlined.
