It is known that Apple has integrated Passkeys into the iOS operating system since its launch, and they are also available on iPadOS 16.1 and above, as well as macOS Ventura.
TikTok integrates Passkeys support for iPhone usersPasskeys, a industry standard developed by FIDO and the World Wide Web Consortium, offer a more convenient and secure alternative to passwords. Therefore, TikTok's integration of Passkeys will function on Apple products as well as other devices that support this feature.
Passkeys are both user-friendly and more secure than passwords because they allow users to log into apps and websites just like they unlock their devices with fingerprint, facial recognition, or PIN code.
TiktokApplications utilizing Passkeys, including TikTok, will be unable to access or process any biometric data used in the authentication process on iOS devices. This feature also has the ability to thwart online attacks such as phishing, making them safer than methods like one-time SMS codes.
Passkeys on iPhone and Mac will synchronize with iCloud Keychain for security purposes, and login information will be authenticated using Face ID or Touch ID. This protects you from getting locked out of your account in case of device loss and makes it easier to transition to another device.
TikTok announced they will begin supporting Passkeys for iPhone users in Asia, Africa, Australia, and South America earlier this month. TikTok users can access this login option by visiting their Profile at the bottom of the app, then navigating to 'Settings & Privacy' in the Menu. From there, access Account options and tap on iCloud Key to enter the setup screen.
