Personally, I welcome it, as I would argue no one can reasonably generate and remember secure, unique passwords for all of the services they use. Machine-generated, machine-stored, machine-entered authentication. Sure, these use certificates, but it’s a similar idea. Away from simple passwords that can be memorized and on to machine-generated passwords which are complex enough to thwart brute-force hacking. I know many sites, institute insanely long and complex passwords so this may be helpfulThis is the world we’re heading to. As long as it doesn't force me to use excessively long and confusing passwords, I'm ok with this. I prefer not to use automatically generated passwords because they eventually are reversed engineered.Really? There are plenty of easier and more likely vectors than “reverse engineering” the password generation mechanism. 4) It is all highly presumptive that everything is working right. Credentials are typical most at risk at the point/time of entry so the more you need to use it the more at risk it is. This means that primary credential is used more often making it more susceptible to "breach". 3) Each time you want to access a password you need to use a credential that protects ALL of your other credentials. Clever on Apple's part but infuriating the moment the customer realises it. So if you lose/damage your iPhone (or iPad or Mac) and don't have another Apple device available you that you are able to connect to iCloud as a primary account you are completely locked out of EVERYTHING until you replace that Apple device with another Apple device. So what do you do when you need to use that auto-generated password outside of Safari or something that has access into the Keychain? 2) There is no means to access the saved passwords outside of fully connecting to your iCloud account on an Apple device. Personally I'm not a big fan of this type of thing for a number of reasons… 1) At no time do you, or will you, know your password. The login can be AirDropped to any device running iOS 12 or macOS Mojave. Simply tap the password field and an option to AirDrop the login will appear. Pro tip: You can share passwords with other people directly from the iOS Password Manager via AirDrop. Note that the last screen shows you on which other websites you've used the same password.
