AAPL -5% today![]()
Why does a 5% drop in the price of Apple's stock have you getting all gleeful and orgasmic?

Maybe I'm just missing something here... but I still have the Passwords and Autofill option under Safari preferences on my iPhone 5, and I installed the GM last night. Just saved two new sites a few moments ago to verify... and it's working. A bit befuddled as to why I still have it and others don't...![]()

It's somewhat expected, to me. I've been using both Mavericks and iOS 7 since DP2, and there's been a lot of issues with resets and automatic disabling. Having upgraded both devices (Air & iPad mini) at once and having to re-enable iCloud keychain led to a required reset since I didn't have an active device with it enabled on it. This was both frustrating and required a silly workaround (upgrading one at a time and re-activating before updating the other device). It would be especially messy if someone only had one device, as you were resetting every update (thus losing all your "secure" passwords you can't remember).
In the latest update to Mavericks, it now has you enter a 4-digit pin so you can reactivate it on same devices. This fixes the biggest problem, but I can see how Apple would much rather introduce it side-by-side with Mac and iOS devices as it affects your usage on both. Imagine using Keychain-provided passwords on your iOS device, and then not being able to sign in on your Mac. Definite problem.
And that's my problem as well. No PC version. I use my PC nearly all the time at home.
And...in terms of "Later this year" pertaining to Mavericks release, what exactly does "Later this year" mean???
October, November, December?
I WANT A DATE! NOW!

Fingerprints are very weak. The average fingerprint has an entropy* of ≈ 13 bits or ≈ 19 times less entropy than a SHA-2 256-Bit hash value.The fingerprint thing would seem to make this walking obsolete.
The market isn't calling out for a cheap iPhone, just a mid-tier. Something in the 399-499 range. Margins would still be very high, and they need to capture mindshare in china, or people upgrading from a cheap Xaomi will go right to Samsung.
The fingerprint thing would seem to make this walking obsolete. But guess that is hardware only. And sites still require passwords
Your comment is stupid, insulting, and not funny.
The market doesn't agree with you. UBS doesn't agree with you. Credit Suisse doesn't agree with you.

A fingerprint is equal to a PIN with only 3 numbers:
numbers 0-9 = 4 bits per number
13 bits / 4 bits = 3 numbers (0-9)
I doubt that you use passwords or passphrases which have a length of only 3 characters or numbers.
*entropy in number of bits
That an and awful lot of sites generate a box saying "this site has asked not to store passwords" etc. and there's no way of overriding it that I can see (didn't honestly look that hard).

Makes sense it's more of a mavericks feature anyway
Not sure how useful it's going to be, anyway. 90% of the websites I went to had the disclaimer in the password box that Apple wouldn't store the password, because the website operator had requested it. If my bank isn't going to let me use it they're cutting their own nose off, because it greatly reduces the chance I would use a very complex password.
OMG I'm glad it's not stored because I'm afraid the government or the NSA will steal it from me!!!
I'm that important, it's because I know the secret that Roswell is full of UFO's and the government is going to take my baby away
I bet Apple will somehow integrate the fingerprint sensor into all this, makes perfect sense.
Apple dont be stingy and limit the touch id to iphones. Bring them to macs and ipads.
Playing it safe is going to kill the company

Exactly. I'm a big time user of 1Password but was willing to move to the iCloud keychain. I do wonder what happened.
It will probably work on PC's just fine - so long as you're using safari and have the iCloud client installed.
As a 1Password user, I'm assuming this will work perfectly within Safari and may even replace it for me.
But when we want to log in to an App, at least the initial time, we will still need 1Password to copy and paste the PW into app.
I'm no developer, but I'm assuming iCloud keychain is safari only, and doesn't carry over to App log in fields.
