X has officially expanded its passkey support to all iOS users within the United States.
The rollout of this secure login method started last month and brings a welcome alternative to traditional passwords.
What are Passkeys?
Passkeys are a new, passwordless authentication method that offers a convenient authentication experience for sites and apps, using just a fingerprint, face scan, or other screen lock. They are designed to enhance online security for users.
Because they are based on the public key cryptographic protocols that underpin security keys, they are resistant to phishing and other online attacks, making them more secure than SMS, app-based one-time passwords, and other forms of multi-factor authentication (MFA). And since passkeys are standardized, a single implementation enables a passwordless experience across browsers and operating systems.
