This is going to sound wild.
My friend Edwin was ordering products off of the Ghost Energy app and when he went to proceed with logging into PayPal to pay, the iOS Keychain suggestion popped up from the bottom of the screen with Alex’s personal email listed as an autofilled email. He was able to click on it to continue and it auto filled Alex’s PayPal information. He immediately backed out and went to checked the Passwords section of the Settings app, he was able to see all of his own saved passwords AND Alex’s as well which added over 150+ additional passwords/logins. How on earth can this happen? This is what we know and have confirmed:
-
They are not sharing location, in a family sharing group, or sharing any passwords between them.
-
They have not ever logged into anything on one another’s phones.
-
They have never sent any links to one another from the Ghost Energy app.
-
Alex has never sent Edwin his personal email ever.
-
They have never sent or received files/media through the close proximity file transfer feature from iPhone to iPhone.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated. I am a long time Mac/iPhone user and have never seen anything like it.
Update: Forgot to add we have a screen recording of Edwin recreating the whole situation but we are not quite nerdy enough to blur out all the personal information shown.
