Framework

AuthenticationServices

Define a new extension point for password manager apps for integration with Password AutoFill.

Overview

Use the Authentication Services framework to integrate password manager apps with Password AutoFill. You can also use ASWebAuthenticationSession to all the user to share persistent cookies and website data between an app and Safari for a single sign-on (SSO) experience.

To integrate your password manager app:

Configure your app by adding a Credential Provider Extension target to you project in Xcode.
Support showing the user a list of their credentials when they open the extension from the QuickType Bar using ASCredentialServiceIdentifier objects.
Specify the credentials you want to show in the QuickType Bar by using ASCredentialIdentityStore in your extension.
Specify your extension's UI when users enable your password manager in their Settings.
