Password manager apps can now save and sign in with passkeys across the entire OS — all apps and websites — by integrating with the AuthenticationServices framework's updated Credential Provider Extensions!

This will include third-party web browsers like Chrome and Firefox on macOS, because macOS 13.3 added support for web browsers to use iCloud Keychain’s passkeys (and now third-party app’s passkeys)!

🔑🧵 iOS 17, macOS Sonoma, and passkeys (2/n)

Password manager apps and TOTP apps running on iOS 17 and macOS Sonoma have new API available to directly open the screen to enable system integration with their apps. It should be easier than ever to set up these apps! See `ASSettingsHelper` in the AuthenticationServices framework. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/authenticationservices/assettingshelper?language=objc

@rmondello key chains, passkey, other apple variants- I need a glossary! What are the differences? Improvements?

I saw things touted as iOS 17 features I thought had been around for years. I did that contact bumping over 7 yrs ago it seems.
