Face ID is mentioned in the context of identity verification and passkey authentication at WWDC. Here are some relevant details:
-
Passkeys and Face ID: In the session titled "What’s new in passkeys," Face ID is used to authenticate users when signing in with passkeys. This provides a seamless and secure experience across iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and visionOS. The passkey system checks for existing credentials at launch, and Face ID is used to authenticate and sign in easily. This is part of the streamlined flow powered by the Account Creation API. You can learn more about this in the session What’s new in passkeys (03:30).

Identity Verification on the Web: In the session "Verify identity documents on the web," Face ID is used to authorize identity verification processes. This is demonstrated in scenarios where users verify their identity on websites using their iPhone or Mac, with Face ID providing a secure method of authorization. This is part of the cross-platform identity verification process. More details can be found in the session Verify identity documents on the web (06:17).
These sessions highlight how Face ID is integrated into Apple's security and identity verification processes, enhancing user experience by providing secure and convenient authentication methods.
