How ‘Sign In with Apple’ works

Friday June 7, 2019. 11:31 PM , from Mac Daily News
Signing into apps and websites is easier and more private with Sign In with Apple.
Sarah Perez for TechCrunch:

One of the bigger security announcements from Apple’s Worldwide Developer Conference this week is Apple’s new requirement that app developers must implement the company’s new single sign-on solution, Sign In with Apple, wherever they already offer another third-party sign-on system.
Apple’s decision to require its button in those scenarios is considered risky — especially at a time when the company is in the crosshairs of the U.S. Department of Justice over antitrust concerns. Apple’s position on the matter is that it wants to give its customers a more private choice.
For consumers, they get the same fast sign-up and login as with other services, but with the knowledge that the apps aren’t sharing their information with an entity they don’t trust.
Consumers can also choose whether or not to share their email with the app developer. If customers decide not to share their real email, Apple will generate a random — but real and verified — email address for the app in question to use, then will route the emails the app wants to send to that address. The user can choose to disable this app email address at any time like — like if they begin to get spam, for example.

MacDailyNews Take: Sign In with Apple is a beautiful solution for those of us who value our privacy and it works with all Apple devices — Mac, iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Apple TV and iPod touch!
