iOS 14 Enable data breach notification

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 store their and fill them automatically in login forms on websites and applications.

Ο passwords is located at Settings> Passwords and when you have access, it lets you see all the saved passwords or add more.

In previous versions of iOS, the Keychain, θα ειδοποιούσε τους χρήστες εάν χρησιμοποιούσαν έναν κωδικό πρόσβασης που ήταν εύκολο να σπάσει και θα σας ζητούσε να τον αλλάξετε.

With the release of iOS 14, Apple will check your saved credentials from a list of known data breaches.

When performing 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 does not reveal the your passwords, even to Apple”.

If an account is found to be compromised or using an easy-to-guess password, a "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, if it was violated in some way or if it was found in a data breach.

Keychain will then ask you to change your password, which will open the site either on the password reset page or on its homepage.

As data breaches become more common, it is a great option as it protects not only your account, your finances, but also any information that hackers could access.
