iOS Passkey is Here! A Simpler, Safer Way to Secure Your WeChat Account

iOS Passkey is Here! A Simpler, Safer Way to Secure Your WeChat Account

As cyber threats continue to escalate, digital security must evolve to keep pace with such threats. Apple’s latest innovation, Passkeys, offers a more secure and convenient way to log in to your accounts on iOS devices. By eliminating the need for traditional passwords, Passkeys provide a robust defense against account security threats.

Passkeys leverage biometric authentication, such as Face ID and Touch ID, offering a seamless and secure way to protect your devices. Still hesitant about switching from passwords to Passkeys? Consider these drawbacks of traditional passwords:

● vulnerability to phishing: passwords are easily compromised through phishing attacks.

● complexity and management: managing unique passwords for multiple accounts is burdensome and error-prone.

● security risks: storing passwords in physical notebooks or digital vaults introduces additional risks.

● 2FA limitations: while two-factor authentication adds a layer of security, it can be inconvenient and less efficient compared to simply entering a password.

● 2FA vulnerabilities: even 2FA has its own security vulnerabilities. For example, attackers can exploit fake login pages, SIM swapping, proxy servers to intercept OTPs, and more.

Hence, WeChat’s latest iOS update (8.0.54) embraces the Passkey technology, offering a more secure and convenient login experience. By eliminating the need for complex passwords, users can significantly reduce the risk of unauthorized access to their accounts.

 

Setting Up Passkey on WeChat with an iOS device

To enable Passkey on your WeChat account, follow these steps:

1.  Open WeChat and navigate to 「Me」>「Settings」>「Account Security」>「Passkey」

2.  Select 「Create」> Enter your password > Tap「Continue」when prompted.

3.  Once setup is complete, the status of Passkey will be displayed as “Enabled” under Account Security.

 

4.  When logging in, select “Log in with Passkey” on the login screen, tap 「Continue」, and use Face ID to sign in.

Troubleshooting Passkey Issues

If you’ve updated your operating system and WeChat app but are still unable to use the Passkey feature, consider the following:

● Check your phone’s 「Settings」>「AutoFill & Passwords」, ensure the Apple Password App is set as the default for creating Passkeys, and confirm that autofill is enabled.

● Alternatively, use a compatible third-party password manager to create Passkeys.

● If neither option is accessible, you may need to download an appropriate app to enable this feature.

Deleting a Passkey

If you wish to stop using the Passkey feature, you can delete it as follows:

Open WeChat, go to 「Me」 >「Settings」>「Account and Security」>「Passkey」, and tap 「Delete and Disable」>「Delete」> Follow the instructions to complete the deletion.

Alternatively, go to the “Passwords” App >「Passkey」>「WeChat」> Tap「Edit」from the top right-hand corner >「Delete」.

Availability and Requirements

Currently, this feature is exclusive to iOS users and is not available for Android devices. To use Passkey for logging in to WeChat, ensure the following:

● Update your WeChat app to the latest version (8.0.54 or later).

● Update your operating system to iOS 16, iPadOS 16, or newer.
