Device, method, and graphical user interface for managing authentication credentials for user accounts

Abstract

In one embodiment, when a new-password field is detected, the field is, without additional user input, automatically populated with a device-generated strong password. Affordances for accepting or declining use of the password are displayed. In one embodiment, when a one-time use code is received via text or e-mail and a corresponding field is displayed, the code is presented as a suggested word for insertion via an insertion affordance. In one embodiment, a first device (e.g., a phone) receives an indication that a second device (e.g., a media player) is in need of authentication credentials.In response, the first device initiates a process for sharing the authentication credentials. In one embodiment, in response to a verbal request, password information is displayed by an electronic device. For example, "Show me my banking password" causes display of the relevant authentication credentials.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure generally relates to electronic devices with touch-sensitive surfaces, including but not limited to electronic devices with touch-sensitive surfaces that manage authentication credentials for user accounts. Background technique [0002] The use of touch-sensitive surfaces as input devices for computers and other electronic computing devices has grown significantly in recent years. Exemplary touch-sensitive surfaces include touchpads and touchscreen displays. Such surfaces are widely used for manipulating user interface objects on a display. [0003] Exemplary manipulations include adjusting the position and / or size of one or more user interface objects, or activating a button or opening a file / application represented by a user interface object, and associating metadata with one or more user interface objects or Manipulate the user interface in other ways. Exemplary user interface objects include digital images, video, text, ic...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, the methods used to perform these manipulations are cumbersome and inefficient

For example, using a sequence of mouse-based inputs to select one or more user interface objects and perform one or more actions on the selected user interface objects is tedious and imposes a significant cognitive burden on the user

Also, these methods take longer than necessary, wasting energy
