No More Typing Passwords
Agree or not, but didn’t we always hated typing lengthy passwords each time we had to log in to any account? So much of unnecessary hassle! Well, thanks to macOS Catalina for extending support for biometric authentication which proves out to be a great relief. You can now use your Apple watch as a biometric authentication tool, and by double-tapping, on the Apple watch screen, you can make any changes in the Settings without having to type the entire password.
To do so, head on to Settings> Security and Privacy, and enable the “Use my Apple Watch to unlock apps on my Mac” option. So, just by tapping on your watch screen, you can verify your authentication with the help of your Apple watch. And you know what’s the good news? Apple has announced that they will soon extend support for third-party app’s authentication as well so that we never have to type lengthy passwords again.
Finder Syncing
Unfortunately, macOS Catalina doesn’t feature iTunes anymore! Wondering how you will copy your files and data to other iOS devices? Well, you can always use AirDrop to transfer large-sized files, but there’s always an option to set up a wired connection between your MacBook and iPhone. Simply connect your iOS device with a lightning cable to your Mac and open finder. In just about a moment, you will find your iOS device’s name on the left column of the Finder window. Tap on it and from here, you can easily copy your data to an iOS device just how you did on iTunes.

So, in just one click you can make any video turn into PIP (Picture in Picture) mode easily. Earlier this feature was available on Safari, but with macOS Catalina, the QuickTime player also includes this added functionality.
Save Files on iCloud
Another great addition that comes along with macOS Catalina is about how you save files on iCloud. So, in case you haven’t noticed, you can now right-click on any file and tap on the “Remove Download” option. Doing so will remove the file from your Mac without deleting it from iCloud. You will still be able to view a preview of the deleted file, but it won’t take up any extra space on your Mac.

Although with macOS Catalina, you now get a bunch of new options to customize its settings. On macOS Catalina, you can enable/disable the dark mode at a specified time, schedule time durations and apply your preferred Dark mode settings on your MacBook.

What Do You Think? Responses
A lot of Mac users have stated that a popup message keeps asking them to enter their keychain passwords. The notification message says:
“AMPDevicesAgent wants to use your confidential information stored in iOS backup in your keychain. To allow this, enter the login keychain password”
As you can see, the message does not say if this is Apple or not and many users are asking if they should enter their passwords. It is asking for access to your keychain. And it looks suspicious. And it is not clear why the process needs the keychain access. So you may have many security concerns and so you may ask these questions below:
What is AMPDevicesAgent?
Why does it need your password?
The dialogue box has three options: Always Allow, Deny and Allow. If you deny this, it will keep asking.
See this article if you worry about viruses. You can also make your Mac more secure.
AMPDevicesAgent
Here are the basic answers:
AMPDevicesAgent is not 3rd party software and it is not caused by a virus (or malware). Actually it is included with macOS Catalina. Apple introduced this with Catalina so it is new:
You can check this by going to Activity Monitor, it will show up as an Apple process.
This notification is normal, it is expected behavior and you may enter your password. This should not be a cause for concern. When you enter your password, an unknown third party will not have your sensitive info. if your mac is trusted, you may want to check Always Allow.
This new AMPDevicesAgent is apart of the Frameworks in your Library folder to allow Finder to synchronization and backup with iOS & iPadOS devices. Basically, AMPDevicesAgent is a new device manager. It is used for backing up, restoring and updating your devices.
This may appear:
When you sync your devices over Wi-Fi
When you connect your iPad or iPhone for the first time to your Mac with a USB cable.
If you do not know your keychain password, do not worry, the keychain password is your login password. You can always change this by going to System Preferences > Security and Privacy > General. And then click the Change Password button.
If you are not satisfied, feel free to raise your concern about this by leaving feedback.
