With the release of iOS 14, Apple has introduced a new feature that alerts users when stored passwords have been breached and displayed on sites with data breaches.
iOS includes the Keychain password manager, which allows users to save their passwords and automatically fill them into login forms on websites and applications.
The password manager is on Settings> Passwords and when you have access, it lets you see all the saved passwords or add more.
In earlier versions of iOS, Keychain Password Manager would notify users if they were using a password that was easy to crack and ask you to change it.
With the release of iOS 14, Apple will check your saved credentials from a list of known data breaches.
At implementation of this check, iOS "uses strong cryptographic techniques to regularly check derivatives of your passwords from a list of compromised passwords in a secure and private way that doesn't reveal your password information, even to Apple."
If an account is found to be compromised or using an easy-to-guess password, a choice "Safety suggestions".
If your accounts use simple passwords, the number in this box will tell you how many accounts you have a problem with.
If there is a red exclamation mark, as shown below, it means that you have an account that has been compromised in some way and needs immediate attention.
If you click on the 'Security suggestions' button, you will be taken to another page that lists all the insecure passwords.
Clicking on a password will tell you whether one can easily guess it, if it was violated in some way or if it was found in some infringement data.
Keychain will then ask you to change your password, which will open the site either on the password reset page or on its homepage.
With data breaches becoming commonplace, it's a great feature as it protects not only your account, your finances, but every information which hackers could access.
