Passkeys sync via iCloud, and are available on Windows. Apple also includes a Chrome extension on both Windows and Mac to enable autofill. Sherlock story was little off, Apple created Sherlock 1.0 (back on Mac OS 9) to search your hard disk. When Mac OS X shipped it came with Sherlock 2.0 to again, search your files. Another company (Karelia) created Watson, an application to search the web and directly into websites, like Amazon, eBay, etc. and present the results right in a native Mac app. When Mac OS X 10.2 came out file search moved to the Finder and Sherlock 3.0 was released basically duplicating Watson by pivoting to web search. Watson was Sherlocked.

I will be dropping 1Password subscription; just like I dropped my Microsoft 365 subscription this morning. I am all Apple’s ecosystem

Thank you!!! ALWAYS can trust y’all for great information to keep my systems safe.

@mitchellsmith4601 3 месяца назад

Leo is wrong. Apple released a search application called Sherlock in 1998. Karelia Software released Watson in 2001, which allowed searches containing Internet content. About eleven months later, Apple incorporated Watson’s features into Sherlock 3. Watson disappeared, having been “Sherlocked”.

@user181 3 месяца назад

Bingo. I came to the comments to say this too. Good job with the details.

@db4a 3 месяца назад

I think what Leo was simply trying to convey is that Apple has a history of adding new features to existing apps or creating new apps entirely that become part of the Apple ecosystem eliminattng the need to pay monthly or yearly license fees to third party companies that may have initially offered similar functionality. But that's how the Big Apple rolls, baby.

@user181 3 месяца назад

@@db4a Of course, that’s exactly the point Leo was making. But he got the details of the “Sherlock” story significantly wrong. Furthermore, it had nothing to do with Spotlight, which came into being a couple years later.

@MikeKobb 3 месяца назад

Sherlock did Internet searches as well, from version 1.0. But Watson added additional functionality.

Bitwarden never go back

@BobbieGWhiz 3 месяца назад

Currently on my Apple devices when I go to a new website, the operating system suggests a complex password. Then it’s automatically synced across all my devices. It works most, but not all the time. All the passwords are easily found under the Settings app. When I go back to the site, the username and password are automatically available. How is this new Password manager going to differ from that?

@timhershel2940 3 месяца назад

It will be in a separate app and have a better interface. Having it in settings is pretty conviluted.

@melgross 3 месяца назад

@@timhershel2940no, it’s really not. It does take a couple of clicks. Open Settings, click on passwords and you’re there. How is this convoluted?

@DanIngham 3 месяца назад

Different GUI and faster to access in an app than settings menu

@melgross 3 месяца назад

Low got the Sherlocked thing wrong. Apple had Sherlock. They stopped using it with OS X. Then a developer came out with software called Watson (he couldn’t really use Sherlock for that as Apple owned the trademark). But then Apple reintroduced similar features to Sherlock, which Watson had copied (funny how nobody got upset about that!). Then, people got upset and said that Apple sherlocked him.

@gr8dvd 3 месяца назад

Not upset (likely) b/c Watson represented a superset of features as Apple’s early Sherlock implementation…. much the way some mail apps have Apple Mail features PLUS.

@2chuck 3 месяца назад

I sure hope it's going to be Secure, but I like it ,because my current Password Manager doesn't get along well with IOS.

@joeracerable День назад

I had no problems with the old one am not going to use the new crappie one.

@mitchellsmith4601 3 месяца назад

It’s not an iCloud for Windows password app. There is already an iCloud for Windows application, with extensions for Edge and Chrome to autofill information. I haven’t seen Apple promising any changes to this application. Only macOS Sequoia users will get a Passwords application.

@fmax6000 3 месяца назад

I've been using iCloud Password Manager on iPad, iPhone, Mac and Windows for ages, it's secure and works perfectly across each of those devices. This episode seems to be a bunch of outdated rambling on.

@fmax6000 3 месяца назад

It seems you missed the Apple keynote when they announced the separate Password manager taking it out of the setting page and adding a nice GUI to encourage more people to use it and to have continuous development and add more features with time, which is great!

@lunchmoneyog i check the app it does not. If someone saw or know your pin, then they have access to all your accounts. Not alot of people have the common sense to use biometric in public..

Why in the world would you have a tech podcast with a guy that has a device running iOS 12?

Why in the world would you assume he was being literal?

@fmax6000 3 месяца назад

Because security freaks tend to keep using old tech. as they’re safer when new tech. keep adding telemetry and location tracking. Some presidents use old Nokia 3310 with no internet and smart features. New is not always the best in every aspect.

@kathleenhickey7793 3 месяца назад

Dont keep all your eggs in one basket. Use other password manager and segment your stuffs. If apple got hack there goes all your eggs. I use bitwarden so if apple got hack, hacker would need to also hack bitwarden too. Good luck hacking two company at the same time.
