I believe that friends will encounter some login verifications in the process of daily use of websites or APPs - these applications will require users to verify that they are "humans" through prescribed operations.
For example, drag the slider to the missing part of the picture, "click the same thing in the picture as the example", or simply let you do a simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division calculation.
To be honest, although this kind of test is not difficult, it can always appear to be annoying to users. In iOS 16, though, proving you're human will get easier.
On June 21, Apple added the ability to bypass captcha in apps and websites in iOS 16. The new features can be found in the Settings app under Apple ID > Password & Security > Automatic Authentication.
Apple says,After the user enables, iCloud will automatically and privately authenticate users' devices and Apple ID accounts in the backgroundThis eliminates the need for applications and websites to provide the user with a CAPTCHA verification prompt.
Apple recently shared a video with technical details on how the feature works. In a nutshell, Apple's system verifies reputable devices and Apple ID accounts and provides so-called "private access tokens" to apps or websites.
Compared to CAPTCHA, this new system will provide a better user experience for tasks such as logging in or creating an account, and improve user privacy and accessibility.
In the description of a WWDC 2022 video related to the topic, Apple said: "Private access tokens are a powerful alternative to helping you identify HTTP requests from legitimate devices and people without compromising their identities or Personal information."
Currently, Cloudflare and Fastly have announced support for private access tokens, which means an authentication bypass experience will be available on the millions of apps and websites supported by these platforms in the future, and the feature will be more widely available over time promotion.
In the first beta of iOS 16 and iPadOS 16, automatic verification is already enabled by default. Apple said,macOS Ventura also supports the feature, and all software updates are currently in beta and will be released later this year.
It's worth mentioning that Apple isn't the only company working on this technology. Google also contributed to the development process. About two years ago, Google started building a similar system in Chrome. It is believed that this convenient verification method will become popular in the future.
