Apple’s iOS 16, iPadOS 16 and macOS Ventura could come with one important change: The ability to bypass CAPTCHA on most websites.

[{"selector":"#anim-64b2d230-bd6e-4224-83a3-31ee32f3c237","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1300,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e9aa7547-789a-4af3-8da4-3fb29f36091d","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 141.76806%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1300,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

As per MacRumors, Apple has showcased details about how this will work in a developer video as part of WWDC 2022.

[{"selector":"#anim-f84c2aaa-13c0-469a-ae79-dc318d778859","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1300,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-cbb4d9e1-9346-4605-a425-1219a2861d99","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 173.41265%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1300,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The report adds that the feature can be found in the Settings under Apple ID >> Password & Security >> Automatic Verification.

[{"selector":"#anim-affc7240-0958-4b6e-a867-b5c7289f77ab","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1300,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-cd4cad41-3c2c-4899-a1e1-50c4cfc10791","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 141.76806%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1300,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Once enabled, iCloud will verify the user’s device and Apple ID account, removing the need for any CAPTCHA prompt on apps or websites.

[{"selector":"#anim-32bd469a-9fee-4412-babc-4c63f146bde8","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1300,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0d36f43c-d238-4bee-9bf2-2bb6bb416604","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 141.76806%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1300,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Apple noted that devices will not share sensitive data linked to your account such as the email address or phone number.

[{"selector":"#anim-884381ec-b8d3-4f7f-a8b8-097d416876b5","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1300,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e37f6c33-8287-48d9-86d6-04a5823a42c3","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 173.41265%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1300,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Importantly, the technology could easily see widespread adoption that might extend beyond Apple hardware.

[{"selector":"#anim-0a34db5e-ad50-405d-8959-fd0fabba7b68","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1300,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-28e29cb2-9cc7-4077-9937-9c9e7c3dce50","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 173.41265%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1300,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Cloudflare and Fastly have already unveiled plans to support the token approach, potentially bringing it to millions of websites.

[{"selector":"#anim-0b74b193-e8f9-40b6-9ea5-7cfd2dc4e937","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1300,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b9407bab-9329-480b-827b-b5adb653b9cc","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 141.76806%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1300,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

All of the software updates are currently in beta and will be released later this year.
