It uses Touch ID or Face ID for biometric verification and iCloud Keychain for syncing across iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple TV devices with end-to-end encryption. Passkey also works in apps and on the web, allowing users to sign in to websites or apps on third-party devices using just their iPhone.

In addition, the dictation function can automatically insert punctuation marks and emojis.
