Apple Passkeys will kill the Existence of Passwords

Apple launched Passkeys on the first day of the World-Wide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2022. Passkeys, according to the company, are a password substitute for websites and apps. They are not only a replacement, but they are also faster, more secure, and simpler to use. Passkeys have the advantage of not being vulnerable to phishing-style passwords. Passkeys were created by Apple to work across all of its devices, even non-Apple devices in close proximity.

Passkeys are built using Public Key Cryptography and the WebAuthentication standard. When a user creates an account on an Apple device, the operating system creates a unique cryptographic pair that can be linked to a website or app account. One key will be kept on a private server, while the other will be made public and will not be kept hidden. However, a private key will be required to access the account. Apple has also assured that the server never learns the private key.

Face ID and Touch ID are used by Apple for passkeys

Apple devices that enable Face ID, Touch ID, or both of these features can be used to authorize the use of Passkey. The device’s security system can be used to verify a user’s identity on a website or app. The public key does not need to be protected, according to Apple.

The benefit of being part of the Apple ecosystem is that iCloud may help you synchronize your experience and activities across various devices. Apple created the Passkeys to take advantage of the iCloud Keychain for synchronization across many devices. This means that if a user’s iCloud ID is active on all of their devices, they can use the same Passkey to log in on all of them.

Apple is not only ensuring that its consumers are safe, but it is also establishing an ecosystem lock that encourages users to stick with Apple products.
