Diese soll, nach einem ersten Flop vor zwei Jahren, nun endlich in der Lage sein, natürliche Sprache zu verstehen und im Auftrag des Benutzers Aktionen auf dem Mac oder dem iPhone ausführen können.

              3️⃣ Wenn man sich bei Online-Diensten anmeldet, muss man das typischerweise mit einer Email-Adresse tun. Manche Dienste arbeiten zwar mit Benutzernamen, aber auch dort ist die Email-Adresse meist Teil der Profil-Daten. Das ist in vielen Fällen durchaus sinnvoll, und sei es nur für die Möglichkeit, ein allenfalls vergessenes Passwort zurücksetzen zu können. Verbunden ist das allerdings oft auch mit Nachteilen, darunter zum Beispiel:
