Apple has recently introduced a feature called “Passkeys” in iOS 17 which offers a simpler and safer way to access your Apple account. Instead of relying on passwords, you can now use Passkey combined with either Face ID or Touch ID. This approach can save you from the hassle of remembering or typing in passwords. And now, with the release of iOS 17 and macOS Sonoma, the process has become even smoother.
What’s New with Passkeys?
For those unfamiliar with Passkeys, it’s Apple’s approach to a password-free future. Initially rolled out in iOS 16, the feature gained recognition for its ease and improved security. With the latest updates in iOS 17 and macOS Sonoma, your Apple device will auto-generate a passkey for your Apple ID. This means that logging into iCloud, Apple websites, or any Apple service doesn’t require a password anymore. Instead, you simply need a device running iOS 17 or macOS Sonoma.
Easy Sign-in Process on iOS 17
The importance of this new sign-in process is simplicity. If your device is running iOS 17 or macOS Sonoma, Passkey gets assigned to your Apple ID. You can use your Face ID or Touch ID for verification on Apple sites such as apple.com, iCloud.com, and appleid.apple.com. So, if you are someone who often forgets passwords, this feature is going to help your in many cases.
How to Sign-in Using Passkey with iOS 17
- First make sure you have set up a passkey on your iPhone, and it’s saved in your iCloud Keychain.
- Open any Apple website you wish to log into from your Mac, PC, or even an Android device. This could be appleid.apple.com, iCloud.com, or any other official Apple site.
- Click or tap the ‘Sign In’ button and enter your Apple ID.
- Then simply select ‘Sign in with Passkey.’
- You will then see QR code on your screen. Simply scan this code using your iPhone.
- After scanning, your iPhone will display message asking if you want to use Face ID to sign in. Tap ‘Continue.’
- Face ID does its remaining work. You’re signed into your account, no password needed.
With these steps, Apple is making sure that users experience simple and advanced security.
