iOS keeps getting better with the passing of the updates and more when there is a job behind it based on the millions of developers and beta testers who are in charge of checking that all the betas go smoothly. The final version of a new version does not have to match the versions tested by the developers, but yes they do to a great extent.
The iOS 11.3 update arrived a few weeks ago on our devices and, since then, little news has appeared in relation to the previous beta versions. With this version Safari security has been improved in relation to autocomplete forms: requires user confirmation.
Hello, iOS 11.3: more security in Safari autocomplete
Until now, when we saved some credentials for a certain page, when we accessed again the data was stored and autocompleted automatically. It has been found that in iOS 11.3 this does not happen. Although there is no confirmation from Apple, it is believed that this function could have to do with a block of tools that would improve the security of users against phishing platforms.
In iOS 11.3, we must click on a part of the form and select the desired autocomplete. Next, all the fields that we have saved will be filled in and, later, we will have to click on access / login or perform the desired action depending on which form you are in.
In summary, iOS 11.3 stores private data but don't use them until does not receive a request from the user. In addition to this security plus, Apple has put the batteries with Safari and has included a function by which we are informed of the security certificates of each website that we access. Information about this certificate will appear at the top left of Safari when we have to insert sensitive information, and it will tell us if we should continue or not.
It is also true that many of the official websites of the Government of Spain, for example, do not have a secure certificate but we still know with certainty that the data that we are going to enter will be stored safely, so in these cases the warning must be adapted to our previous knowledge about the place where we are browsing.
