Security News > 2020 > June > Apple Releases Open Source Password Manager Resources
Apple has announced the availability of a series of open source tools designed to foster collaboration between password manager developers.
Published on GitHub in the Password Manager Resources repository, the tools should help developers create strong passwords compatible with popular websites.
The Password Manager Resources project maintains the term's meaning, providing website-specific requirements used by Apple's iCloud Keychain password manager for the generation of strong, unique passwords.
According to Apple, the open source resources should help password manager developers improve quality with less effort, should incentivize website owners to adopt standards or emerging standards to improve compatibility with password managers, and should increase user trust in password managers as a concept.
"We encourage you to incorporate the data from this project into your password manager, but kindly ask that you please contribute any quirks you have back to the project so that all users of participating password managers can benefit from your discoveries and testing," Apple says.
