在WWDC 2019上，Apple向与会者和观众介绍了在所有设备上推出的全新“使用Apple登录”功能。(Apple)虽然此功能不一定是开创性的，也不一定是购买MacBook(MacBook)或 iPhone的卖点，但它已经发展成为Apple设备功能套件中备受赞赏的一部分。
Apple Pay五年前推出，可能是最密切相关和可比的功能。Apple Pay和“使用Apple登录”都是Apple继续推动更简单、更直观体验的两种方式，不仅从硬件和操作系统的角度来看，现在甚至在第三方应用程序中也是如此。
什么是“使用 Apple 登录”？(What Is ‘Sign in With Apple’?)
近年来，网络上的注册表单已经以许多不同的方式进行了简化。简化流程的最常见方法之一是使用OAuth，这是一种开放协议，允许在 Web、移动和桌面应用程序上进行安全授权。
您可能去过一些网站，您可以选择使用电子邮件地址注册或通过链接热门服务帐户（如Google或Facebook ）进行注册。在大多数情况下，这就是OAuth的作用。
Apple 的“使用 Apple 登录”功能的工作方式与OAuth(OAuth)非常相似。如果您在任何移动网站或应用程序上看到过Apple Pay按钮，那么 Apple 的新登录按钮非常相似。
如果您的设备运行 iOS 13 或更高版本，您将能够使用设备的Apple登录信息即时轻松地创建帐户。唯一的要求是您在Apple ID上启用了双重身份验证。
“使用 Apple登录”有一些非常有趣的好处，您在使用(Sign)OAuth和类似服务时不会发现这些好处。一个例子是 Apple 的“隐藏我的电子邮件”功能。
使用隐藏我的电子邮件(Hide My Email)，Apple将在 privaterelay.appleid.com 域名上生成一个随机电子邮件地址，该地址将转发到您的真实 iCloud 邮件帐户，并在帐户注册期间使用它。随着网站被黑客入侵的速度，这是一个很好的安全缓冲区，可以保护您的 iCloud 帐户免受潜在的破坏。
使用 Apple 的新登录功能创建帐户将允许您使用设备的Face ID、Touch ID或密码登录。在一个试图超越基于文本的密码的世界中，这是朝着正确方向迈出的一步。
如何使用“使用 Apple 登录”(How To Use ‘Sign In With Apple’)
Apple 的新登录功能还相对年轻，仅在App Store中的少数几个应用程序中出现(App Store—)——Instacart和Bird就是两个例子。如果您想试一试Sign In With Apple，您可以下载其中任何一个应用程序。
在任何支持的应用程序的注册页面上，您都会看到“使用 Apple 登录”(Sign in with Apple)按钮，黑色并带有Apple标志。
点击此按钮会弹出一个提示，显示您设备当前的 iCloud 信息，让您选择是否要使用真实的 iCloud 电子邮件地址注册或使用 Apple 的隐藏我的电子邮件(Hide My Email)功能对其进行屏蔽。
用于登录的按钮将是使用密码继续，(Continue with Passcode)或提及您用于保护Apple ID的生物特征——Face ID(Face ID)或Touch ID。继续(Continuing)并验证您的密码、面容 ID(Face ID)或触控 ID(Touch ID)将创建您的帐户，并允许您以后在与您的Apple ID关联的设备上登录该帐户。
“使用 Apple 登录”有多安全？(How Safe Is ‘Sign in with Apple’?)
Apple的新登录服务是访问主流网络的最安全的帐户创建方法之一。它需要启用两因素身份验证的Apple设备，并且您需要通过手机的标准安全检查才能访问您的帐户。Web 上很少有其他系统将您的登录信息与物理设备相关联。
此外，虽然一次性电子邮件服务(throwaway email services)和电子邮件转发器并不是什么新鲜事，但 Apple 集成的“隐藏我的电子邮件(Hide My Email)”简化了流程，并为可能不知道或不了解此类安全措施存在的用户提供了电子邮件屏蔽的可能性。
就用户隐私而言，Apple在(Apple)其官方登录(Apple)支持(Sign)页面(official sign-in support page)上承诺以下内容(Apple)：确保您可以登录并管理您的帐户。”
总体而言，Apple通过其新的登录服务提高了标准。多年来， OAuth(OAuth)一直是主要的节省时间，但如果您能够找到支持它的应用程序并且您拥有受双重身份验证保护的Apple ID ，那么通过Apple登录会带来更多好处。(Sign)这是向无密码网络迈出的一大步。

What Is “Sign In With Apple”, How To Use It, and How Safe It Is
At WWDC 2019, Apple introduced attendееs and viewers to the new ‘Sign іn wіth Αрple’ fеature rolling out across all devices. While this feature isn’t necessarily groundbreaking or the selling point to go out and grab a MacBook оr iPhоne, it has since developed intо an appreciatеd pаrt of Apple’s suite of device features.
Apple Pay launched five years earlier and is probably the most closely related and comparable feature. Both Apple Pay and ‘Sign in with Apple’ are two ways that Apple is continuing to push for a simpler, more intuitive experience not only from a hardware and operating system perspective but now even in third-party applications.
What Is ‘Sign in With Apple’?
In recent years, signup forms across the web have been simplified in many different ways. One of the most common ways of simplifying the process is through using OAuth, an open protocol that allows secure authorization on the web, mobile, and desktop applications.
You’ve likely been to websites where you’re given the option to either sign up with an email address or by linking a popular service account such as Google or Facebook. In most cases, this is OAuth in action.
Apple’s ‘Sign in with Apple’ feature works very similarly to OAuth. If you’ve seen the Apple Pay button on any mobile website or app, Apple’s new sign-in button is very similar.
If your device is running iOS 13 or above, you’ll be able to use your device’s Apple sign-in information to instantly and easily create an account. The only requirement is that you have two-factor authentication enabled on your Apple ID.
‘Sign in with Apple’ has some very interesting perks that you won’t find while using OAuth and similar services. An example is Apple’s ‘Hide My Email’ feature.
With Hide My Email, Apple will generate a random email address on the privaterelay.appleid.com domain name that will forward to your real iCloud mail account and use this during account signup. With the rate at which websites are being hacked, this is a great security buffer that can save your iCloud account from being potentially breached.
Creating an account with Apple’s new sign-in feature will allow you to sign in by using your device’s Face ID, Touch ID, or passcode. In a world attempting to move beyond text-based passwords, this is a step in the right direction.
How To Use ‘Sign In With Apple’
Apple’s new sign-in feature is still relatively young and is only out on a select few apps in the App Store—Instacart and Bird are two examples. If you’d like to take Sign In With Apple for a spin, you can download either of those apps.
On the signup page for any app with support, you’ll see the Sign in with Apple button, black and branded with the Apple logo.
Tapping on this button will bring up a prompt that shows your device’s current iCloud information, allowing you to select if you would like to sign up with your real iCloud email address or mask it with Apple’s Hide My Email feature.
The button to sign in will either be Continue with Passcode or mention the biometric that you use to protect your Apple ID – either Face ID or Touch ID. Continuing and verifying your passcode, Face ID, or Touch ID will create your account and allow you to sign in to it in the future on devices linked to your Apple ID.
How Safe Is ‘Sign in with Apple’?
Apple’s new sign-in service is one of the most secure methods of account creation to reach the mainstream web. It requires an Apple device with two-factor authentication enabled, and you’ll need to pass your phone’s standard security check to access your account. There are very few other systems on the web where your sign-in information is associated with a physical device.
Additionally, while throwaway email services and email forwarders are nothing new, Apple’s integration of Hide My Email streamlines the process and opens up the possibility of email masking to users who otherwise may not even know or understand the existence of such a security measure.
As far as user privacy goes, Apple promises the following on their official sign-in support page: “Sign in with Apple won’t track or profile you as you use your favorite apps and websites, and Apple retains only the information that’s needed to make sure you can sign in and manage your account.”
Overall, Apple has raised the bar with its new sign-in service. OAuth has been a major timesaver for years, but Sign in with Apple brings so much more to the table if you’re able to find an app that supports it and you own an Apple ID protected by two-factor authentication. This is one big step closer to a passwordless web.
