Sign in with Apple offers a secure way to use your Apple ID across a variety of apps, websites, and services. When using Sign in with Apple, every account is automatically protected by two-factor authentication, and signing in via iPhone or iPad only requires Face ID or Touch ID. Apple even offers a way to hide your real email address when creating new accounts, with built-in forwarding to protect privacy.
While many are already familiar with password managers such as 1Password, Sign in with Apple provides anyone with iOS 13 or later the ability to use their Apple ID across multiple apps.
