Steps to Use PassKeys on iOS 16
Log in with your username and password to continue.
If you are asked to provide additional authentication, please follow the instructions below.
To use the site securely, you need a passkey.
Web server sends a request to your browser to provide encryption information.
Your device will require you to input your personal information in order to complete this request.
If you successfully validate your identity, your device generates the public/private key pair. The private key is stored on your device and never sent to the remote site.
Browser sends the public key along with a cryptographically signed message that the server can validate using the provided public key. Only someone whose device possesses the private key can produce a verifiable message. ..
Web servers store your public key for future logins in order to ensure that you are always authenticated when you log in. ..
Final Words
iOS 16 includes a number of new features that make using passkeys easier and more secure. With iCloud Keychain, you can store your passkeys on all of your devices so they are always accessible and synced. Apple’s Touch ID or Face ID support makes it easy to sign in with just a few taps. And because passkeys are associated with the app or website they were designed for, phishing assaults are impossible.
