Signing Up with Apple ID
This tutorial walks you through the process of creating a new AppKeyId account using Sign in with Apple.
Using Apple ID signup allows AppKeyId to verify your email address through your Apple iCloud account, so you do not need to enter a six-digit verification code manually.
Step 1: Go to AppKeyId
Open your browser and go to:
You will be shown the AppKeyId signup page.
Step 2: Select Sign in with Apple
On the signup page, click the Sign in with Apple button.
Like with email signup, each AppKeyId account has a unique email address associated with it.
When you use Apple ID signup, you do not need to verify ownership of your email address with a six-digit code. Instead, Apple iCloud validates the email account on your behalf.
Step 3: Select Your Apple Account
You will be prompted to select the Apple account you want to use with AppKeyId.
Choose the Apple account you want to associate with your AppKeyId account.
Make sure to select Share My Email. This allows AppKeyId to associate your account with your actual Apple ID email address.
Step 4: Create Your AppKeyId Passkey
Next, AppKeyId will prompt you to create a passkey for the Apple ID email address you selected.
On Apple devices, this passkey can be saved in your iCloud Keychain. The passkey is only accessible through biometric verification, such as a fingerprint on a desktop computer or Face ID on a mobile device.
This passkey will be used to securely authenticate you when you log in to AppKeyId.
Step 5: Confirm Your Profile Information
Another advantage of using Apple ID signup is that you do not need to manually enter your first and last name.
AppKeyId can use the name information associated with your Apple ID account to create your AppKeyId profile.
Step 6: Create Your User Name
Finally, AppKeyId will prompt you to create a unique user name.
AppKeyId does not typically share email addresses between users. Instead, users are identified by their unique user names. This helps protect user privacy.
When another user becomes a trusted contact, contact email addresses may then be shared between those trusted users.
Create your user name and continue.
Step 7: Your Account Is Ready
Your AppKeyId account has now been created.
You are now signed in and ready to use AppKeyId.
