Private Access Tokens by Apple as Captcha alternative


 At WWDC 2022, Apple presented a new technology alternative to Captcha that's used by web developers for protecting key features or information within a web page against bots or spammers. 

Apple is also improving data privacy that doesn't store device data or usage patterns with private acces tokens. Apple is reinventing HTTP authentication with PrivateToken that is an server that verifies using cryptography for a value stored on iCloud. There is also Rate-limit that checks Apple device for identifying pattern whether it is repetitive by the device or a click farming.

Apple also presented Cloudflare's Token security that doesn't gather information about Apple device's usage patterns and user interactions. Apple is launching Private Access Tokens support for devices with iOS 16 or Mac os Ventura.

Apple is going to put efforts to more partnerships for PATs as a new web standard.
