Apple is working on improving its iCloud Keychain manager with iOS 14, according to a report. It says that the Cupertino, California-based tech giant might bring features like changing recommendations and two-factor authentication with the improved iCloud Keychain manager. iCloud Keychain stores s and credit card details of Apple s and is available for both iOS and macOS.

The iOS 14. The two main features that have been reported include two-factor authentication and a feature to warn s about reused s.

Right now, iCloud Keychain only stores a 's s and helps autofill them on an Apple device. However, it doesn't alert s if they are repeating their s on multiple s, a feature that comes with popular third-party applications like 1 and Last. With iOS 14, iCloud Keychain will start warning s about reused s.

Apart from warning s about reused s, iCloud Keychain might bring a new method to save two-factor authentication s with iOS 14. Now, although it is not known if this will be a Google Authenticator like feature, the 9to5Mac report says that s will be able to to websites or receive one-time-s without relying on SMS, email, or other less secure methods.

Now, these features are already provided by third-party applications. However, Apple bringing these new features to its iCloud Keychain manager will give s a better sense of security. Further, since third-party apps come with a paid subscription, the iCloud Keychain manager will bring similar features free of cost to Apple s.
