Face ID fails to prevent access to iCloud Keychain passwords in iOS 13 Public Beta
In iOS 13 Public Beta 2 and Developer Beta 3 Face ID does not authorize before allowing access to a user’s iCloud Keychain containing their website and app passwords. This is a regression from iOS 12.
Steps to Reproduce
Open the Settings app
Tap ‘Passwords & Account’
Cover the Face ID sensor
Quickly and repeatedly tap ‘Website & App Passwords’
Expected:
The ‘Face Not Recognized’ dialog should appear.
Actual:
The user is shown the ‘Website & App Passwords’ screen without Face ID authenticating.
Note: Sometimes the ‘Face Not Recognized’ dialog appears when reproducing this but after canceling out of the dialog and trying again should make it work.
