We have been notified of an Apple iOS 17+ Autofill feature that lets users insert the device Contacts and/or Passwords into any text field they encounter in the system. When long pressing in a text box, a new "Insert" option appears in the pop-up menu. Tapping it brings up another menu with two additional new options: "Contacts" and "Passwords." Choosing Contacts takes you straight to your contacts list for you to make your selection, while tapping Password takes you to your passwords.



Apple Device Update: Autofill Feature iOS 17+

  1. Autofill cannot be disabled on browser-based tests (i.e. an OSTP ELA Practice Test taken through an internet browser).
  2. iPads and MacBooks without Force Touch trackpads: Autofill will be disabled for iPads and MacBooks without Force Touch trackpads through the kiosk app. No further action needs to be taken for Spring 2025 testing.
  3. MacBooks with Force Touch trackpads: Autofill will need to be disabled on all MacBooks that have Force Touch trackpads for Spring 2025 testing. The trackpad will still function as normal and will only disable the secondary “Force Click” press features.
Action:
  • To disable “Force Click”, follow the path below:
    • Click System Settings > Trackpad > Point & Click > Force Click and haptic feedback (Turn off Toggle).
