It must be recognized that after so many rumors about new devices, Mini LEDs and others, it is always good to tell news about new software projects. Apple has launched a new open source project called “Password Manager Resources " intended for developers.
One of the biggest concerns today at the technological level is to be able to choose a password strong enough to make things difficult for the friends of others. Apple already has "ICloud Keychain" to be able to store passwords and suggest some of strong consistency for different platforms. That as you already know, being integrated in iCloud we have them on all devices registered under the same account.
What Apple has announced is a new project aimed at developers specialized in password management in order to facilitate the creation of secure passwords that are compatible with the most popular websites.

Apple explains it As follows:
The open source project Password Manager Resources allows you to integrate specific website requirements used by iCloud Keychain Password Manager to generate strong and unique passwords. The project also contains collections of well-known websites in order to share a login system. Links to website pages where users change password and much more.
These new resources released by Apple are pinned on GitHubTherefore is made available to anyone who has interest and knowledge in the subject.
This new system features three advantages:
- Being shared, all password managers can improve their quality with less work.
- Being public, Web sites can implement common standards to make the project more popular.
- Improves the Trust of the user, being a transparent process and measured by the users themselves.
