Apple Introduces Passkeys for iOS 17 and macOS Sonoma Users, Phasing Out Passwords.

Apple will automatically assign a passkey to each user for logging into Apple accounts on the web without needing any password, starting with iOS 17, iPadOS 17 and macOS Sonoma. The feature also works for passwordless login on sites that support "Sign in with Apple" and passkey-based login for sites like PayPal, Shopify, and Kayak. Passkeys rely on device-based authentication using Face ID, Touch ID, or PIN instead of a password and are synced across devices.
