starting with iOS 17iPadOS 17, and macOS Sonoma, Apple will start automatically assigning Apple ID The owners have their own passkey.
passkey, if you’re not familiar with the concept, it’s a new, more convenient way to sign in to personal accounts. Instead of having to remember a username and password, you can enter a simple PIN or use some sort of biometric login – be it a fingerprint or facial scan. Essentially going forward, you won’t need to enter your full Apple ID credentials when trying to log in to an Apple website. All you have to do is enter the passkey. In fact, if you go apple website and try signing in, you should see an option for an alternate login method.

At this point we have a lot of information regarding Apple’s mini-passkey launch, and as you can imagine, we have many questions.
One thing we wanted to know is how Apple is assigning these passkeys will the company allow people to create their own PINs or will it be like Google where it will generate one automatically For you? We also wanted to know if there are any plans to support other platforms. It appears that these special passkeys only work on two of Apple’s websites – at least for now. maybe one day it will happen ios 16 passkey who is getting support on something third party websites,
We asked Apple all these questions and more. Hopefully, the tech giant gets back to us soon with an answer, and if it does, this story will be updated.
