X introduces passkeys for iOS users in the US\u060c<\/p>\n

In 2024, passwords are still in the early stages of adoption, but they are gaining ground as a promising alternative to traditional passwords. Many major tech companies, such as Apple, Microsoft and Google, already allow passwordless logins and X (formerly Twitter) is following suit. <\/p>\n

X jumped on the train of access keys, now allowing iOS users on iPhone<\/a> and iPad to take advantage of this clever safety feature, no matter if they enjoy the free or premium X experience. Currently available in the United<\/a> States, X has not disclosed the timeline for expanding this feature to Android or other countries.<\/p>\n

Sign in with the account you want to secure, then go to Your Account > Settings & Privacy > Security & Account Access > Security > Additional Password Protection. From this menu, choose Passkey. You will be prompted to enter your password and simply follow the steps from there. <\/p>\n

Setting up passwords involves your device generating both a public key and a private key. Your device keeps the private key secure, while the shared public key is stored on the platform you sign in to, like X. <\/p>\n

Once setup is complete, you can opt for a passcode instead of a passcode to log into your X account. Your device will verify your identity using the public key. Ideally, this password works seamlessly across all devices signed into the same iCloud account. <\/p>\n

If you haven't spotted X's passkey feature yet, don't worry! The rollout may still be in progress, so keep an eye out for the update.<\/p>\n
