When will Apple support auto-filling of one-time passwords?Īpple has not yet announced any plans to expand the AutoFill system to include one-time passwords for third party password managers like Minimalist. That's why Minimalist offers automatic copying of one-time passwords while using AutoFill. which is something that might happen to people who didn't spend enough time planning out the various back-up options they needed to set up when setting up their password manager.Minimalist AutoFill is built on Apple’s AutoFill system which unfortunately does not yet support auto-filling of one-time passwords for third party passwords managers like Minimalist. It has aspects of convenience because you no longer need a 40 character passphrase or something that you have to type out on your phone or worry about forgetting if you choose to use all biometrics etc. When password managers started gaining ground it started becoming more possible for people to create and store more complex passwords, and then more research was done to indicate that pass phrases were more secure but still a long way to go in educating people who were taught all the wrong things about password security.Įssentially a lot of people don't have good password security, even if they use password managers they may not, and passkeys will remove the technical issues with users that weren't making better passwords. From many services that may have had a maximum of 12 or 16 characters, to forcing users to rotate passwords frequently, to unpredictable treatment of various characters, case insensitivity that transitioned to case sensitivity etc., it was a terrible system in desperate need of something better. Passwords have been a holdover measure for awhile that have taught people bad practices from the very beginning. Passkeys are better because it takes away some of the technical complexity of making accounts secure.

It's not necessarily about convenience, though it can bring aspects of convenience, it's also about security.
