Apple users can now secure their accounts using FIDO® Certified* security keys. The small external devices can act as a replacement for six-digit verification codes.
Apple users can now secure their accountsAccording to the tech giant, the security keys – small external devices that look like thumb drives or tags – provide extra protection against phishing attacks or social engineering scams and can be used for verification when signing in with an Apple ID using two-factor authentication.
"Because you use a physical key instead of the six-digit code, security keys strengthen the two-factor authentication process and help prevent your second authentication factor from being intercepted or requested by an attacker," Apple says. However, there's a twist: if a user loses all trusted devices and security keys, they could be locked out of their Apple account for good.
A modern web browser is also a must, per Apple, and an iPhone or an iPad with a software version that supports security keys is also needed to sign in to Apple Watch, Apple TV or HomePod.
