The arrival of iOS 14 is already close if there are no last minute surprises, and leaks of some details of it continue to arrive, such as iCloud Keychain feature that stores your app and website passwords will improve in iOS 14 with some features that it will borrow from the 1Password app.
ICloud Keychain is one of those "hidden" iOS functions that help you a lot in your day-to-day life. In a transparent way for the user, it stores your access credentials to web pages and applications, so you do not have to worry about putting a simple password or always using the same one, things that are not recommended but that we all usually do so that we are not forget. ICloud Keychain suggests complex and random passwords that the system itself stores, which are synchronized on all your devices and that only you, with your iPhone access password, can consult.
However, if we compare it with what other applications offer us, such as 1Password, there are quite a few shortcomings, especially when it comes to checking the saved passwords. 1Password is not by chance the benchmark in this type of service and sets the bar quite high, and Apple, aware of this, it seems that in iOS 14 it is going to improve its Keychain to make it look more like him. They will notify us when we are reusing the same password on different websites and applications, something not recommended, and it will also help us to access sites that require two-factor authentication, without the need for SMS or email.
Will Apple make us forget about the password storage services we use regularly? It would be great news, since integration with the system and, above all, being free, would make many of us rejoice of getting it. Although as I said before, the bar is very high.
