X Introduces Passkey Support for iOS Users in the US
New Feature Offers More Secure Login Option, Eliminating Need for Traditional Passwords
- X, formerly known as Twitter, has introduced passkey support for iOS users in the US, providing a more secure login option than traditional passwords.
- Passkeys use device-based authentication methods like Face ID, Touch ID, or a device's passcode, eliminating the need for users to remember and enter passwords.
- The passkey feature is currently only available for iOS users in the US, with no confirmed timeline for its rollout on other platforms or in other countries.
- Passkeys are considered more secure than traditional passwords as they are impervious to phishing attempts and make unauthorized access more difficult unless the device itself is compromised.
- Users can set up a passkey on X by navigating to the 'Additional password protection' option in the 'Security' settings of the app.
