Hey,

I have recently set up iCloud Keychain on my apple devices but noticed something interesting.

In ios7 if you go to safari settings to see your saved passwords you will have to enter your passcode to see the password AND to delete the password from the keychain.

In Mavericks if you go to safari settings and passwords it's a bit different. If you want to show a password you will only have to enter the password of your mac once (until you close the settings panel) and you can have a look through all the passwords which for management reason is better than what ios7 does, where you have to enter it for each item.
However if you want to delete a password you can press the remove/remove all button and it will do just that without a password prompt. This could be a potential security issue or even just a big inconvenience if you press the button by accident, especially the remove all.
Am I missing something? Thanks for potential replies and thoughts.
