I can use my Apple Watch to authenticate things like passwords in Safari, but I would MUCH prefer to not have to lift my hands off the keyboard. A lot of the time I just type my password. A million times a day. This would be a quality of life improvement.
- philistine 5y agoJury’s still out but I’m not convinced this is a software limitation. It is possible that Apple’s previous implementation of a Secure Enclave couldn’t electrically work with any external handshake.
- smoldesu 5y agoApple should have designed the keyboard with older devices in mind, then. It's a little bit frustrating from a developer standpoint, knowing that the entire purpose of the T2 chip is to facilitate this exact type of "next generation" hardware, yet it's being laid to waste since the engineers didn't want to factor in back-compat.
