HOW TO SETUP AND USE SECURITY KEYS IN MACOS VENTURA

Dennis SellersTech Tips
posted on Jun. 30, 2023June 30, 2023

Apple introduced two-factor authentication for Apple ID in 2015. Today, the tech
giant says that more than 95% of active iCloud accounts use this protection.
Security Keys enhance this protection with a physical verification method.


WHAT ARE SECURITY KEYS?

With Security Keys — available in macOS Ventura — users have the choice to make
use of third-party hardware security keys to enhance the protection provided by
two-factor authentication. Apple says this feature is designed for users who,
often due to their public profile, face concerted threats to their online
accounts, such as celebrities, journalists, and members of government. 

Apple says that for users who opt in, Security Keys strengthens Apple’s
two-factor authentication by requiring a hardware security key as one of the two
factors. This takes our two-factor authentication even further, preventing even
an advanced attacker from obtaining a user’s second factor in a phishing scam.

To set up Security keys with your account, you’ll need to have at least two
security keys (you can have up to six). This a bit of an inconvenience, but it
does mean that you’ll have a backup should you lose your primary key so won’t be
locked out of your account. 


HOW TO USE SECURITY KEYS

When you use Security Keys for Apple ID, you need a trusted device or a security
key to:

 * Sign in with your Apple ID on a new device or on the web
 * Reset your Apple ID password or unlock your Apple ID
 * Add additional Security Keys or remove a Security Key


TO ADD SECURITY KEYS IN MACOS VENTURA:

 1. From the Apple menu , choose System Settings, then click your name.

System Settings > your name
 2. Click Password & Security.
 3. Next to Security Keys, click Add, then follow the onscreen instructions to
    add your keys.

Security Keys > Add
 4. Review the devices associated with your Apple ID, then choose to:

 1. Stay signed in to all devices.
 2. Select devices that you don’t want to continue to have access to your
    account and sign out of them.


TO STOP USING SECURITY KEYS:

Open System Settings, click your name, then click Password & Security. Click
Security Keys, then click Remove All Security Keys. Note that if you remove all
security keys, your Apple ID reverts to using the six-digit verification code
for two-factor authentication.

FIDO Certified

You can find the security keys and connectors that Apple recommends in this
support document.

   The only Security Key I could find on OWC’s web site was
   https://eshop.macsales.com/item/NewerTech/TOOLTORXT8SL/
   
   Do I have to go to Amazon to get the Security Keys you were talking about?
