How to use Security Keys to protect your Apple ID on your iPhone

This feature allows you to use hardware security keys to add an additional layer of protection to your Apple ID. Think of it as a password that you plug in. This way, even if your password were to fall into the wrong hands, it would be useless without access to the right security keys.

This is a game-changer and the best way to protect your Apple ID from hackers. I’ll show you how to get it set up.

The process shouldn’t take more than a couple of minutes.

Now that you’re done, make sure to store your keys in separate places (I have one in use and another as backup, but you might want one for home and another for the office, or whatever works for you).

Don’t keep both in the same place — such as on the same keyring. That way if you lose one, you’ll lose both.
