Comment on Hackers can force iOS and macOS browsers to divulge passwords and much more
Vub@lemmy.world 1 year agoSeems to affect Keychain yes. And there are even examples in the article with an external password manager (Lastpass) so it doesn’t seem to matter how. But to be fair the vulnerability is quite complicated to abuse and I guess we can expect a fix very soon.

The vulnerability seems to be that it can read content filled into a page, and since lastpass will autofill your password (usually, if enabled) it’s easy to read.
iCloud Keychain requires user intervention by default (using your fingerprint) so it can’t be autofilled in the background.
Still, many people would be vulnerable because 3rd party password managers are so popular.
