Sick of CAPTCHAs? Apple to Introduce New Bypass Feature with iOS 16, macOS Ventura

Posted on the 22 June 2022 by Geetikamalik

Apple will get rid of Captcha verification with new features in the upcoming iOS 16 and MacOS Ventura updates. The company carries a new automatic verification settings – under Settings> Apple ID> Password & Security> Automatic Verification – which will verify users as humans to websites or applications without captcha.

Apple’s description of the features for iOS reads: “Captcha bypass in the application and on the web by allowing iCloud to automatically and personally verify your devices and accounts.”

During the keynote at the Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC), Apple said that Captchas was complicated to be filled, not following the best privacy practices by tracking IP addresses, and could block users with disabilities who felt difficult to complete Captcha.

Conversely, websites can use personal access tokens (PAT) to verify if humans access them, the word giant technology based in Cupertino. The server can use the HTTP private authentication method to request token. This will allow the server to only get information about verification without knowing the data facing the user such as the IP address.

Apple uses an iCloud -based monitor to sign to the token, Appleinsider reports, and a safe enclave device provides certificates. It also checks actions – such as unlocking the iPhone with a face ID or visiting a website via safari – which is difficult to imitate by BOT.

Apple has worked with a fast and cloudflare cloud service provider to support PATS to offer captcha -free life users. PATS can be cross -platforms, such as Apple, Google, quickly, and Cloudflare all contribute to developing protocols. However, there has been no implementation on Android.

During the WWDC event, Apple announced several security and privacy features, such as real time security updates that were separated from system updates, the ability to enter the service without passwords, and locked folders for photos that were deleted and hidden.
