To enhance the sign-in experience using Apple technologies, there are several updates and features introduced at WWDC 2024 that you might find useful:

  1. Passkey Upgrades: Apple has introduced a seamless way to transition users to passkeys with a new registration API. This allows for faster sign-ins and reduces the need for password resets. The passkeys are created automatically for eligible users the next time they sign into your app. This feature is available on iPadOS as well, with updates to the user interface like a redesigned tab bar. You can learn more about this in the Platforms State of the Union (47:07).

  2. Apple Pay on Non-Safari Browsers: Users on iOS 18 can now use Apple Pay on any non-Safari browser by scanning a code with their iPhone. This update requires minimal code changes, such as importing the Apple Pay JavaScript SDK and using the JavaScript SDK Apple Pay button. This ensures compatibility across different browsers. More details can be found in the session What’s new in Wallet and Apple Pay (00:58).

  3. Credential Management: For websites, it's important to ensure metadata is set for all pages and subdomains to properly represent your site. Additionally, offering an OTP Auth link can make setting up time-based verification codes a one-tap experience. This is discussed in the session Streamline sign-in with passkey upgrades and credential managers (11:57).

These updates aim to streamline the sign-in process, enhance security, and improve user experience across Apple devices and platforms.
