Apple’s Passwords app was vulnerable to phishing attacks for nearly three months after launch

<div class="feat-image">(https://9to5mac.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/06/Untitled-design20.png?w=1600)</div><p>In iOS 18 (https://9to5mac.com/guides/ios-18/), Apple spun off its Keychain password management tool—previously only tucked away in Settings—into a standalone app called Passwords (https://9to5mac.com/guides/passwords/). It was the company’s first move at making credential management more convenient for users. It’s now been revealed that a serious HTTP bug left Passwords users vulnerable to phishing attacks for nearly three months, from the initial release of iOS 18 until the patch in iOS 18.2.</p>
