Soon you will not have to enter strange texts or tap images with this iOS 16 application.
Some websites check with CAPTCHAs whether you are a robot or not. With iOS 16, that is a thing of the past. Because the operating system may be able to help you avoid the CAPTCHA antibot systems that stand between you and some web logins.
iOS 16 application
The MacRumors website noticed this on. They saw at Apple’s WWDC 2022 that iOS 16, iPadOS 16, and macOS Ventura skip CAPTCHAs altogether for some apps and websites. Enable an automatic verification feature and support sites use iCloud to verify both your Apple ID and your device. Whereby a token is presented that proves that you are trustworthy. As a result, you may no longer have to enter unfathomable text or click images of zebra crossings. This is to show that you are really human.
Apple will therefore store information about you. But the company states that devices don’t share sensitive data associated with your account. Think of your e-mail address or telephone number. The company also doesn’t know who is making the verification request, so it can’t link these checks to specific providers.
Acceptance
The application will only work well if there is widespread adoption. Cloudflare and Fastly have already unveiled plans to support the token approach, potentially bringing it to millions of websites. So that’s good news.
Apple is also working on an open standard to facilitate a Private Access Token. There is no Android variant yet. However, it seems that the technology is developing rapidly and that in the future we will no longer have to prove that we are not a robot.
