How to set up a passkey for your Apple account

 

Passkeys are a new and more secure way to sign in to your Apple account. They are similar to passwords, but they are stored on your device and are not shared with Apple. This makes them more resistant to phishing attacks and other security threats.

Passkeys are currently not available for Apple accounts. However, they are expected to be available in a future software update.

Set up a passkey for Apple account

When passkeys are available, you will be able to set up a passkey for your Apple account by following these steps:

1.    Go to the Settings app on your Apple device.

2.    Tap on your name at the top of the screen.

3.    Tap on "Password & Security."

4.    Tap on "Passkeys."

5.    Tap on "Set Up Passkey."

6.    Follow the on-screen instructions to create a passkey.

Once you have created a passkey, you will be able to use it to sign in to your Apple account on any device that supports passkeys.

Keep in mind about passkeys

·         You can create multiple passkeys for your Apple account.

·         You can remove a passkey if you no longer want to use it.
