But with solutions IOS 18It's completely different. As passwords moved from the Settings app to an app dedicated to them. All of this is to protect the privacy of the Apple device user. Experts point out that Apple's decision to create an independent application for managing passwords is its intention to compete with similar applications that provide this service, such as 1Password or Bitwarden.

- Security - Security.
