I recently purchased an iPad Air and despite being a long-time Apple user there are still things I need to learn. I don't usually log into any sites on the iPad, rather preferring to do all that on my MB Pro. But on the iPad, using Safari, I started to log into a particular online forum that I visit frequently and to my surprise I was prompted with the username and asked if I want to use Touch ID to log in. I tested this with another online forum and the same thing happened. This is despite being pretty sure that I had never logged into either site on the iPad, but even if I did I had recently gone into System Preferences to clear all Safari web data.
I'm not sure I'm comfortable with this, so how did my iPad know the log-in credentials that I use on the MB Pro? What setting on the two machines controls the exchange of such information?
Thank you.
