Apple Announce App-specific Password Feature For the Third party Apps Integrates with iCloud

To minimize this risk and taking the security aspects from the apps to own hands smartphone platforms are working vigorously.

Apple has just revealed one more security step which says app specific passwords will be required from 15.

Apple has just announced that if you use a third party app which login with an iCloud id and password to access contacts, calendar and mail messages Apple will require an app-specific password which will be effective from June 15th.

Apple conveyed the announcement via mail to the iCloud user and advised them to integrate the app-specific password before 15th of June.If you don’t have the third-party app using the calendar, contact, mail in your app list then you should be less concerned.

The apps from the App store which integrated with iCloud via Apple API are safe from this change.

The non-Apple servers receive a scrambled random password for the process.
