Recently, X announced that Passkeys are now supported as a login option globally on iOS. This new feature is a game-changer in terms of security and convenience, as it allows users to protect their accounts using Face ID.
Passkeys are a form of authentication that goes beyond traditional passwords. They are more secure because they are based on public-key cryptography, which makes them virtually impossible to hack. In addition, Passkeys are easy to use and can be easily generated and managed on your device.
To protect your account with Face ID, follow these steps:
1. Enable Passkey login option: First, make sure that the Passkey login option is enabled on your X account. You can do this by going to the settings menu and selecting the Passkey login option.
2. Set up your Passkey: Next, you will need to set up your Passkey by generating a unique public and private key pair. This key pair will be used to authenticate your identity when you log in to your account.
3. Enable Face ID: Once your Passkey is set up, you can enable Face ID as an additional layer of security. Face ID uses facial recognition technology to verify your identity and ensure that only you can access your account.
4. Log in with Face ID: When you go to log in to your X account, simply select the Passkey login option and use Face ID to authenticate your identity. Once your face is recognized, you will be granted access to your account.
By using Passkeys and Face ID together, you can rest assured that your X account is secure and protected from unauthorized access. This new login option is a significant step forward in the realm of security and demonstrates X’s commitment to keeping user information safe.
In conclusion, Passkeys with Face ID provide a convenient and highly secure way to protect your account on iOS. Make sure to take advantage of this new feature to enhance the security of your X account today.
