Passkeys

My wife and I are on a family share account. I am interested in using passkeys but my wife is not. Do both of us need to use passkeys or can I use them while she continues using passwords? Thank you.

Reinforcing Limnos’ reply … No you do not.


Assuming that your meaning of “Family Share Account” means that you each have your own separate and unique AppleIDs … you can each choose your own AppleID 2FA authentication method.


I speak from personal experience; where my spouse and I - in Family sharing and on a common AppleOne plan … each use different 2FA methods.


i.e. One AppleID uses Verification Codes, while the other uses Security Keys.
