Passkeys are a significant focus at WWDC 2024, particularly in the session titled "Streamline sign-in with passkey upgrades and credential managers." The industry is transitioning from passwords to passkeys, which are more secure and resistant to phishing. Automatic passkey upgrades are a key feature, allowing apps to upgrade existing accounts to use passkeys seamlessly during sign-in, without interrupting the user experience.
Passkeys simplify the sign-in process by eliminating the need for multiple steps and reducing the risk of phishing attacks. They are designed to be a more secure alternative to traditional passwords, which are vulnerable to various forms of credential theft.
For more detailed information, you can refer to the session Streamline sign-in with passkey upgrades and credential managers (00:38) which covers automatic passkey upgrades, and What’s new in privacy (20:46) for additional insights on privacy enhancements related to passkeys.
