With iOS 26, Apple is finally solving one of the biggest passkey headaches

9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2026-03-15 00:20:14

Apple’s next round of OS updates will introduce a long-overdue feature for anyone trying to live in a world without passwords: a seamless, secure way to export and import passkeys across platforms and apps. Here’s how it’s going to work. As noted by Ars Technica’s Dan Goodin (via SixColors), the new capability, which Apple demonstrated during WWDC25, addresses one of the biggest pain points with passkeys to date.

Former Tesla Dealership Manager Says It's "Game Over" for Elon Musk

We wrote about LaBrot's symbolic act of defiance against Musk's political maneuvers at the time.

Jack Wallen/ZDNET There are so many Linux distributions on the market, and they range from the command line only all the way to functioning works of art.

But the date could shift, Musk added, because "we are being super paranoid about safety." That comment could prove to be revealing.
