QuickType keyboard that would allow passwords to be revealed as part of Apple's next word prediction feature in
iOS 8. A few reports have surfaced on Apple's official support forums saying that QuickType would suggest the password or part of a user's password when filling out fields in a website or in select text input applications.</p> <!--break--> <p>Apple user
ramiroegueta wrote of the experience:</p>
<p>lets [
sic] say my user name is AppleUser and my pass is OrageJuice!2, every time I enter AppleUser Quick Type suggest me OrangeJuice, the worst part is that also suggest me other passwords from other services and old passwords that I already change, I found this while trying to login to an OWA web portal, but it happens on any text inpute, like Notes</p> <p>One way to protect your way would be to turn off the prediction for the QuickType keyboard. To learn more how to do this, you can visit our
QuickType guide.</p> <p>At the time of this writing, we have not been able to replicate this behavior on a few iPhone devices here at
iMore. Have you noticed this behavior when using QuickType and entering passwords?</p> <p>Source:
