iOS 18.4 Enhances Apple’s Passwords App with Countdown Timer for Verification Codes

Apple’s Passwords app has received a minor but useful update in iOS 18.4 beta 1, which introduces a visual countdown timer for verification codes. This new feature helps users track how long their current verification codes will remain valid before expiring and resetting. The countdown is displayed as a green ring that fills up at the top-right corner of the Codes section, and it also appears in the details view of specific password entries. The enhancement extends to macOS Sequoia 15.4 and even the Passwords Menu Bar app. While it's a subtle improvement, it enhances the usability and security of an important feature.
