How do passkeys work if you don’t have your phone on your person?

375 viewsOtherTechnology

I work in a jail, I have internet access, but am not allowed to have my phone on me. Websites want me to switch to passkeys. So does Apple. How would I sign into a website or account that has a passkey if I will never have my phone with me to authenticate? I cannot use my work computer to create the passkey, I can’t only log into accounts that I am allowed to use.

Passkeys rely on the ecosystem of Apple devices and iCloud. If you don’t have your phone, you can still use another Apple device or utilize iCloud Keychain on the web. It will be a while before the default option of traditional passwords is removed from the internet though.
