Summary

Apple has launched its own Passwords app at WWDC 2024, despite predictions that online passwords would become obsolete. While the app is free and convenient, cybersecurity experts still recommend more advanced authentication methods. The app allows users to store various passwords and login verifications, but concerns remain about the security risks of relying solely on passwords. Apple's move towards passkeys and biometrics aims to address these risks, but questions about data privacy and security remain, especially with the potential partnership with OpenAI.
