There are a lot of new features in iOS 15, so many in fact that Apple didn't have time to introduce them all during today's keynote.
One of these new features is a built-in authenticator that allows iOS devices to be used to generate verification codes for additional login security. At the moment, app-based two-factor authentication is handled by third-party apps like Authy and Google Authenticator. But now Apple is building this functionality directly into iOS, so users won't need a separate app.
iOS 15: Apple makes it easier to use two-factor authentication
Generate verification codes needed for additional login security. If a website offers two-factor authentication, you can set up verification codes under Passwords in Settings without having to download an additional app. Once set up, the verification codes will be automatically filled in when you log in to the website.
Apple says users can set up verification codes under Passwords in the Settings app. Once set up, the verification codes will be automatically filled in when users log on to a website which makes using two-factor authentication on an iPhone or iPad much easier. This feature will be available on iOS 15, iPadOS 15, and macOS Monterey. (Photo by bigtunaonline / Bigstockphoto)
