Apple’s Killing the Password. Here’s Everything You Need to Know | | For years, we've been promised the end of password-based logins. Now the reality of a passwordless future is taking a big leap forward, with the ability to ditch passwords being rolled out for millions of people. | When Apple launches iOS 16 today and macOS Ventura next month, the software will include its password replacement, known as passkeys, for iPhones, iPads, and Macs. | Passkeys allow you to log in to apps and websites, or create new accounts, without having to create, memorize, or store a password. This passkey, which is made up of a cryptographic key pair, replaces your traditional password and is synced across iCloud’s Keychain. It has the potential to eliminate passwords and improve your online security, replacing the insecure passwords and bad habits you probably have now. | |
