WWDC 2026: Is Siri Actually Good Now?
Where this was said
Agentic Password Manager, Wallet Passes, and Receipt Splitting
At 33:29 · chapter starts 29:45
The headliner for iOS 27 system features is the Passwords app's new agentic capability: with user permission, it will log into websites one by one, change compromised or weak passwords to 30-character alphanumeric strings, then save the new credentials. Marques calls it polarizing — great for security, but a lock-in mechanic for the Apple ecosystem. The crew debates failure modes: what happens with CAPTCHAs? David notes it needs email access to receive one-time verification codes, and Marques adds that it can be exported to third-party managers like 1Password. Apple also adds physical-to-digital pass scanning in Wallet for NFC-capable cards. The receipt-splitting feature uses Siri's camera to itemize a restaurant bill, assign items to individuals, calculate tip percentages, and request payment via Apple Cash — though the crew agrees this is largely a tech demo since most people just Venmo each other anyway, and immediately Sherlocks the existing app Splitwise.
The new Passwords app can agentically log into websites, change weak or compromised passwords to long alphanumeric strings, and save the new credentials automatically.
The new iOS 27 Passwords app doesn't just flag your weak passwords — it goes and changes them for you. Give it permission, and it will agentically log into websites, change credentials to 30-character alphanumeric strings, and save everything. It's polarizing, powerful, and the most genuinely agentic thing Apple has ever shipped.
