The option to switch from a private to a public account is available on the ' Privacy' page under the ' Discoverability' options. “Passwords are a hindrance to security and user experience that are long past their expiration date – which is why the FIDO Alliance has created open standards for passwordless authentication that are being utilized by leading service providers to allow consumers to have easier access to leading online services such as TikTok.” - Andrew Shikiar, FIDO Alliance Executive Director.As mentioned, TikTok users with a private account don't have the ability to modify this setting unless they change the account to public. Passkeys are also largely phishing-resistant, which protect against the number one crime type in the 2022 Internet Crime Report produced by the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3). Passkeys simplify the login process and make it much harder for an account to be compromised as there is no longer a traditional "password" that can be stolen, forgotten, or re-used across multiple accounts. Apps using passkeys, including TikTok, cannot access or process any of the biometric data used in the authentication process on iOS devices, and all biometric authentication data remains on users' devices. To log in, users initiate the key pairing by verifying their identity with their Apple Face or Touch ID. Passkey authentication works by using public-private key cryptography techniques. For your TikTok account, you will now have the option to use passkeys instead of a password to sign into your TikTok account directly from your iCloud account across devices. If you are an iOS user, you may already use passkeys on other applications.
When you use passkeys, all biometric authentication data remains on your device and cannot be accessed or processed by third party apps, like TikTok. Passkeys are password replacements that can confirm your identity based on encrypted biometric authentication methods already available on your device. As a part of this passkey launch, we are also proud to announce our membership in the FIDO Alliance, an open industry organization whose mission is to develop and promote authentication standards that help reduce reliance on traditional passwords which could be lost or stolen.
Today, we're pleased to announce that TikTok is introducing passkeys for iOS devices - a faster, easier, and more secure way for people to sign into their TikTok accounts across their devices by using Face or Touch ID. At TikTok, we are always looking to provide innovative ways for our community to secure their accounts and #BeCyberSmart.
