Using passkey without Apple ID account.

I understand that the passkey is stored on iCloud Keychain. That means you need an Apple ID account. Can I use passkey without Apple ID account? I checked on the simulator and even though I don't need to log in to my Apple ID account, I can still use the passkey. Please help me. Thank you.

Credentials used in Simulator are useful for testing, but are not true passkeys. Using actual passkeys requires a backing passkey provider. In addition to iCloud Keychain, there are several third party passkey managers available.

  • Is it possible to use Passkey without an Apple ID account? I am trying with passkey iPhone app development and building a FIDO server though, I have observed that if you are not logged in to your AppleID, a dialog box appears prompting you to log in. I would like to know if it is possible or not to do passkey authentication from the iPhone app without logging in to AppleID.
