Apple’s entrance into the world of passkeys began with iOS 16, which marked the introduction of this technology within the ecosystem. By the time iOS 17 rolled out, Apple had seamlessly woven passkey support for Apple ID and started allowing third-party apps such as NordPass to manage passkeys on mobile devices.<\/p><\/div>

Now Apple users no longer need to remember their Apple ID password and can access and use passkeys outside the ecosystem, on any device, at any time.<\/p>

This progression isn’t just about technological milestones. It paints a picture of a future where our digital interactions are both more secure and more intuitive.<\/p>

Today we\u2019ll unpack the nuances of the passkey technology and explore and showcase how easy it is to enable, store, and manage passkeys on the NordPass iOS app.<\/p>

How passkeys work<\/h2>

Before we get into the ins and outs of passkeys, let\u2019s start with passwords. Passwords, while familiar, come with a set of challenges, issues, and potential risks. Weak or reused passwords have been behind more than 80% of security breaches in the past few years. Passkey technology<\/a>, however, offers a much more secure and hand alternative to traditional passwords.<\/p>

At the heart of this technology is a dual-key mechanism. When you opt for a service that supports passkey authentication, two cryptographic keys work in tandem: a public key, which is stored on the service’s server, and a private key, kept securely on your device. The beauty of this pairing is its dependency \u2014 one key is ineffective without the other.<\/p>

The authentication process is multi-layered. During login, the server sends a request to your device, which responds with the corresponding passkey. Your identity is then verified at the device level, often through extra layers of authenticity such as biometrics like Face ID or Touch ID. Access is granted only when both keys match and biometric verification succeeds.<\/p>

This approach offers enhanced security on multiple fronts. Passkeys are resilient to phishing and eliminates the issues of password reuse or forgetfulness. Yes, with passkeys you don\u2019t need to remember or type out crazy strings of characters. The added layer of biometric verification ensures that even if your device is compromised, your data remains out of reach. Passkeys are here and they are taking over for good reason.<\/p>

How to enable passkeys on iOS devices<\/h2>

With the introduction of iOS 17, Apple has made it even more convenient for users to embrace the security of passkeys. Integrating this feature into your daily routine is simple, especially with the help of NordPass. Keep in mind that support for passkey management on NordPass is available only for devices running iOS17 and iPad OS17 or later.<\/p>

Here’s a step-by-step guide to enabling passkeys of your iOS device:<\/p>

  1. Download and install NordPass<\/a> on your iOS devices.<\/p><\/li>

  2. Go to the \u201cSettings\u201d<\/b> on your device.<\/p><\/li>

  3. Scroll down and select \u201cPasswords.\u201d<\/b><\/p><\/li>

  4. Authenticate your identity as prompted.<\/p><\/li>

  5. Now, tap on \u201cPassword options.\u201d<\/b><\/p><\/li>

  6. Browse and select \u201cNordPass.\u201d<\/b> A checkmark will appear, indicating it’s enabled.<\/p><\/li>

  7. Finalize the process by unlocking the NordPass vault.<\/p><\/li><\/ol>

    That\u2019s it, you\u2019ve enabled passkey-based authentication on your iOS device.<\/p>
