Apple is planning to introduce '1Password' extension in iOS 8, which would solve the hassle of remembering all passwords and pins.
The extension would require users to tap their finger to auto-fill passwords and pins, and will also allow other third-party developers to tap into 1Password and fill in passwords without ever closing the app, The Verge reported.
Developers are planning to support TouchID for authentication, which will make auto-filling logins as simple as holding down a finger on the home button.
Also, Apple is giving third-party apps access to iCloud Keychain in iOS 8, which should make logging in easier if the passwords are already stored, the report said.
