The present disclosure generally relates to techniques for managing and sharing authentication information (e.g., passkeys, verification codes, and/or passwords) using electronic devices. A first computing system being associated with a first user account of a first user receives, via one or more input devices, one or more inputs that corresponds to a request to access a remote service that requires authentication, and in response to receiving the one or more inputs that correspond to the request to access the remote service, provides authentication information to the remote service that is based on a private key that is accessible to the first computing system, where the authentication information does not include the private key, the private key was established by a second computer system that is different from the first computer system, and the second computer system is also associated with the first user account.

Passkey management and sharing

A method and apparatus of a device that converts an account associated with an application to use a single sign-on service is described. In an exemplary embodiment, the device receives an indication of a weak password associated with the account. The device further sends a request to verify an account credential for a user associated with the device. In addition, the device receives the verification of the account credential. The device additionally requests a single sign-on credential for the account and receives the single sign-on credential. Furthermore, the device sends a message to a server associated with a service for the application that the application is registered for the single sign-on service.
