How iOS Encourages Healthy Password Practices
summary
iOS 12 adds concrete features to move users off reused passwords: automatic strong passwords generates 20‑character, syllable‑style passwords with ~71 bits entropy and filters offensive substrings; a new autofill keyboard shows a single blue button and requires Face ID/Touch ID before disclosing credentials; third‑party password managers plug into system autofill; a password rules language and web validation tool guarantee compatibility; a proposed /.well‑known/change_password URL lets sites take authenticated users straight to their change form.
