Barnes TechApple released iOS 12 yesterday, with a whole bunch of awesome new features.
One of my favorite new features, however, has largely flown under the radar. At WWDC, it was announced in one of the developer sessions that they would be adding support for password managers to use the native API for password auto fill, meaning Dashlane, 1Password, LastPass, and others would be able to present you your managed passwords natively in iOS, without you needing to link it to the other app.
This seems like it may be a small deal, but it honestly has already radically changed my workflow on iOS for the better.
What a wonderful present for us at WWDC this year! Thank you to all our friends at Apple for this great new API. #1PasswordAutofill pic.twitter.com/jpvRVogslS
