The video of the talk I gave at PasswordsCon 2018 in Stockholm is now available.
My claim: a password manager needs to be more convenient and reliable than reusing memorable passwords to be widely adopted.
The talk covers:
- The fact that I have amazing colleagues
- Some background on Apple’s role in password management
- Why iOS 11.3 removed filling user names and passwords into web pages without user consent
- What iOS 12 does to make it easier to log into websites
- How iOS uses Face ID and Touch ID to secure logging into websites and apps
- What iOS does to guide users toward strong, unique passwords
- Why we changed the format of passwords that iOS generates for users
- Why iOS allows users to bring their own password manager
- Password Rules, a computer-readable description of a service’s password requirements
- The Well-Known Change Password URL, why it exists, and how to adopt it
I had a lot of fun preparing this talk, and I hope that folks find it useful.
