Everything else
iPadOS isn’t just more customizable…
Alongside the app upgrades, you’ll find two important security improvements: the new Passwords app, and the ability to lock apps behind Touch ID and Face ID. That latter is useful for shared iPads in particular; you can use it to keep the kids from ordering in your shopping apps.
ONE–STOP PASSWORDS APP
Before iPadOS 18, Apple’s password and login management was getting pretty messy. It also differed from mobile to Mac, so for example, website passwords had their own spot in the iPadOS Settings app, but lived in Safari’s settings on Mac. Now, there’s the one app for everything —and it’s not just for passwords, but for Wi–Fi logins and temporary verification codes, and for passkeys, an alternative to passwords that use your face or finger as your login. You can also use the app to share passwords or passkeys —for example, if you’re giving a group access to a shared building.
