Apple will make one of the most popular improvements users have made to their computers and iPads. After the unveiling of exciting new features unveiled at the opening of the World Developer Conference, a lot of exciting news continued in the days that followed, delighting users with more details about the future of enterprise systems and services . Thus, it has been confirmed that Face ID and Touch ID will arrive in Safari with iOS and iPadOS 14 and macOS Big Sur.
As Apple described in a WWDC20 engineering session titled “Meet Face ID and ouchTouch ID for the Web”, this feature explains how web developers can use Face ID and ouchTouch ID on their websites with the Web authentication API.
No more passwords, Face ID will also be available on the web
Using the API, Touch ID and Face ID would be used instead of a password to access sensitive applications such as banking or password management, and in the future, Face ID and ouchTouch ID can also be used for authentication when connecting to a web page.
According to Apple, this additional security measure is created to combat one of the most common malicious practices on the Web. The company claims that authentication with Face ID and ouchTouch ID is beneficial because it is frictionless, simple, and secure, and has described it as “Phishing resistant”.
“Safari only allows public credentials created by this API to be used on the website on which they were created, and credentials can never be exported from the authenticator on which they also been created. This means that once the public credentials are provided, there is no way for a user to accidentally disclose them elsewhere. “
