According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman report, Apple's new iOS18iPhone software, along with iPadOS18 and macOS15, could get a full-fledged Passwords app. It will be built on top of iCloud Keychain, a familiar part of apple's various operating systems, but will be placed in an easy-to-access location.

Gurman says that the password will be offered not only to iPhone, iPad and Mac users, but also to those who are lucky enough to own Vision Pro, perhaps as part of the rumored visionOS2.0 upgrade. If you need to get a password outside of the Apple ecosystem, it seems that the Windows version also exists.

In addition to logging in to different accounts, the Passwords app also includes Wi-Fi network details and passkey, if any, settings. It can also act as an authentication app for accounts that have 2FA set up.

iCloud Keychain and Settings Various options in the app already allow iPhones and other Apple devices to manage passwords, but the options are arranged separately, so effective management is difficult. The dedicated app seems to be a much more intuitive way to check and access your login details. 

The fact that Gurman claims that you can bulk import your passwords into the app suggests that Apple is actually aiming to be the best password manager like 1password or Keeper. But as exciting as this sounds, this password app is unlikely to be the focus of WWDC2024 next week. Instead, expect apple's addition of AI to various Oss to be a central stage this time around.

Keep up with the rumors of the iOS18, iPadOS18, and macOS15 hubs before the event begins. And if you want to adjust it yourself, make sure you know how to watch WWDC2024.
