How to use Passkeys on your Apple Watch

Apple is ushering the passwordless future with passkeys with macOS Ventura. In this article, we want to show how passkeys can be used on the Apple Watch as the latest device from the Apple cosmos, after they were previously available with Face ID and Touch ID on Mac, iPhone and iPad.

One of the many new features of macOS Ventura is that passkey logins are now available by using an Apple Watch. After the passwordless login with Touch ID or Face ID was already supported on Mac, iPhone and iPad, users can now create a passkey with yet another Apple device. This is possible for all passkey-supported websites on Safari as well as on Chrome.

Below, you'll find an instruction on how to set up the passkey login for your Apple Watch:

1. Go to System Settings on your Mac
2. Check under General if you already installed macOS Ventura
3. Proceed to Touch ID & Password (wear your Apple watch on your wrist)

4. Go to https://passkeys.eu and click on Sign up
5. Create a new account

6. Check the notification on your Apple watch

7. Double-Click on the side button of your Apple Watch
8. Signed In

Since passkeys are enabled on all Apple devices, it's time to also make browsing on your website even safer and much more user-friendly by fully replacing passwords.
